Azilect (active ingredient: rasagiline) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  • Parkinson’s Disease: Azilect is used as monotherapy (without levodopa) for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) in its early stages. It is also used as adjunctive therapy (with levodopa) in later stages of PD to improve motor function.

Azilect belongs to a class of drugs known as monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B) inhibitors, which work by blocking the breakdown of dopamine in the brain, thereby increasing dopamine levels and improving motor symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease.

Azilect (Rasagiline) is usually prescribed to be taken once or twice a day, orally by mouth with or without food as directed by the doctor. If the medication is taken once, it is usually recommended to be taken at bedtime. To ensure maximum benefits, take Nizatidine regularly, preferably at the same time every day.

Do not increase the dosage or take the medication more frequently or for longer than prescribed, as doing so may increase the risk of side effects and will not improve the condition any faster. Continue taking the medication for the entire duration of the prescribed treatment, even if symptoms improve. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations on dosing, frequency, and duration of treatment, as they may vary depending on the individual’s medical condition and needs.

  • For monotherapy for Parkinson’s disease, the typical dose is 1 mg per day taken orally.
  • For adjunct therapy, the typical dose is also 1 mg per day, either alone or with a levodopa medication.
  • In cases where Azilect is used as adjunct therapy with levodopa, the starting dose is usually 0.5 mg per day, which may be gradually increased up to 1 mg per day.
