Expert Advice

  • You have been prescribed Rasagiline to treat your symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
  • It can be taken with or without food, or as directed by your doctor.
  • Be cautious while driving or performing tasks that require concentration, as Rasagiline can cause significant drowsiness.
  • Rasagiline may lead to dizziness or lightheadedness, particularly when standing up suddenly from a sitting or lying position.
  • Inform your doctor if you are also taking medications for depression or mood disorders.
  • Do not discontinue Rasagiline abruptly, as sudden cessation may result in confusion, muscle stiffness, and a high fever.
  • As a precaution, avoid foods high in tyramine (e.g., aged cheeses, air-dried meats, soy sauce, tap/draft beers, and red wine) while taking Rasagiline, as they may cause an unsafe increase in your blood pressure.
