Rasagiline 1mg Tablets are a highly selective, second-generation irreversible monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease. By blocking the enzyme that breaks down dopamine in the brain, Rasagiline increases the availability of this critical neurotransmitter, effectively reducing motor symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. It is utilized both as a powerful monotherapy in early-stage Parkinson's and as an adjunct therapy to Levodopa in more advanced cases to manage "off" episodes.
Using Rasagiline as part of a medically supervised neurological care plan offers several targeted therapeutic benefits:
Sustained Symptom Control: Effectively manages the motor symptoms of Parkinson's, including bradykinesia (slowness) and rigidity.
Reduces "Off" Time: When used with Levodopa, it significantly decreases the periods when the primary medication wears off and symptoms return.
Potential Neuroprotective Effects: Clinical studies suggest that early initiation may help slow the progression of underlying neuronal damage.
Once-Daily Convenience: The simple 1mg daily regimen ensures consistent brain dopamine levels and high patient adherence.
Well-Tolerated Profile: Offers a favorable safety profile with a lower risk of certain side effects compared to older generation MAO inhibitors.
Rasagiline 1mg Tablets (commonly available as Azilect) are manufactured by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, a global leader in generic and specialty medicines. Produced in world-class, GMP-compliant facilities that adhere to the strictest international Good Manufacturing Practices, Teva ensures that every tablet meets rigorous standards for purity and clinical stability. At Sanlive Pharmacy, we source Rasagiline directly from verified Teva distributors to ensure our patients in Nigeria receive authentic, high-standard medication for their neurological health.
Rasagiline utilizes a targeted biochemical mechanism to enhance dopaminergic activity:
Rasagiline Mesylate (1mg): A selective inhibitor of the MAO-B enzyme, which prevents the metabolic breakdown of dopamine in the striatum of the brain.
Potent Irreversible Binding: Unlike reversible inhibitors, Rasagiline forms a permanent bond with the enzyme, ensuring a stable and long-lasting effect from a single daily dose.
To achieve optimal results with Rasagiline 1mg Tablets, follow these guidelines:
Suggested Dosage: The standard dose is one (1) 1mg tablet taken once daily, or as specifically directed by your neurologist.
Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food.
Consistency: Take the medication at the same time each day to maintain steady neurological stabilization.
Monotherapy vs. Adjunct: If used alone, the dose is typically 1mg. If added to Levodopa, the dose may be adjusted based on clinical response.
Important Safety Note: Avoid foods very high in tyramine (such as aged cheeses or air-dried meats) to prevent potential blood pressure spikes, though the risk is lower with Rasagiline than with older MAOIs. Do not use alongside certain antidepressants or decongestants without medical approval. If you experience severe headache, confusion, or sudden vision changes, seek medical attention immediately.

No. Rasagiline manages the symptoms but does not cure the underlying condition. Stopping the medication abruptly can cause a significant worsening of Parkinsonian symptoms.
Many over-the-counter cold and flu medications contain sympathomimetics (like pseudoephedrine) that can interact dangerously with MAO inhibitors. Always consult your pharmacist at Sanlive before taking any new OTC product.
