Azilect (rasagiline) is a prescription medication used to manage Parkinson's disease. It works by irreversibly inhibiting monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B), which reduces the breakdown of dopamine in the brain and helps improve motor symptoms. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, many people with Parkinson's disease experience meaningful improvement in tremor, stiffness, and daily functioning.
Azilect (rasagiline) may be appropriate for adults diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, whether as a standalone treatment in early stages or added to levodopa therapy as the condition progresses. A licensed physician will review your symptom history, current medications, and overall health before prescribing.
Because rasagiline inhibits MAO-B, it has important interactions with certain antidepressants, opioids, and other medications. Your provider will carefully evaluate your neurological history and current medication list to ensure Azilect is safe and appropriate for you.
Azilect (rasagiline) is FDA-approved to treat Parkinson's disease. It can be used alone in patients with early disease or together with carbidopa-levodopa in patients with more advanced disease who experience motor fluctuations.
Rasagiline irreversibly inhibits monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B), the enzyme primarily responsible for breaking down dopamine in the brain. By slowing dopamine breakdown, it helps maintain higher dopamine levels and improve motor control.
The typical dose is 1 mg taken orally once daily when used as monotherapy. When used as an adjunct to levodopa, the starting dose is 0.5 mg once daily, which may be increased to 1 mg once daily based on clinical response. Your physician will determine the appropriate dose for your situation.
Yes. Rasagiline has serious interactions with certain antidepressants (such as SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclics, and other MAO inhibitors), meperidine, tramadol, methadone, and some cold medications containing dextromethorphan. Always give your provider a complete medication list before starting Azilect.
Yes, Azilect can be taken with or without food. Unlike older, non-selective MAO inhibitors, rasagiline at therapeutic doses does not require a tyramine-restricted diet, though some providers still advise limiting very high-tyramine foods as a precaution.
Common side effects include headache, joint pain, indigestion, and flu-like symptoms. When used with levodopa, it may increase dyskinesia (involuntary movements) or cause low blood pressure upon standing. Contact your provider if you notice new or worsening symptoms, unusual mood changes, or signs of serotonin syndrome such as agitation, rapid heart rate, or high fever.
