Alzilo 1mg Tablet - Rasagiline for Parkinson's Disease
Description
Alzilo 1mg Tablet - Rasagiline for Parkinson's Disease
Alzilo 1mg Tablet contains Rasagiline, a selective monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibitor used to treat Parkinson's disease. By blocking MAO-B in the brain, Rasagiline preserves dopamine - the neurotransmitter responsible for smooth, coordinated movement - and helps improve motor symptoms such as tremor, stiffness, and slowness.
Alzilo can be used as monotherapy in early Parkinson's or as an adjunct to Levodopa in more advanced disease to reduce "off" time (periods when symptoms return between doses). It is taken once daily and works gradually, with motor benefits typically becoming noticeable over a few weeks.
Because Rasagiline affects monoamine systems, important diet and drug interactions apply. Avoid combining with other MAO inhibitors, pethidine, tramadol, dextromethorphan, certain antidepressants (SSRIs/SNRIs without medical advice), and high-tyramine foods at high doses. Prescription required. Browse our full general medicines collection at Derma.pk.

Usage & Benefits
- Manages Parkinson's symptoms: Helps reduce tremor, rigidity and bradykinesia (slow movement).
- Preserves dopamine: MAO-B inhibition slows breakdown of dopamine in the brain.
- Reduces "off" time: Used as Levodopa add-on, improves the proportion of "on" time without troublesome dyskinesia.
- Once-daily dosing: Simple regimen supports long-term adherence.
- Supports quality of life: Better motor control helps maintain daily activities and independence.
How To Use
1. Take one (1) tablet daily at the same time each day, with or without food, or as prescribed by your neurologist.
2. Swallow whole with water. Do not crush or chew the tablet.
3. Do not stop suddenly - sudden withdrawal can worsen Parkinson's symptoms. Any dose change should be made by your doctor.
4. Avoid other MAO inhibitors, pethidine, tramadol, dextromethorphan, and discuss any antidepressant use with your doctor (risk of serotonin syndrome).
5. Limit alcohol and avoid very high-tyramine foods in large amounts.
6. Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and moisture.
7. Prescription required. Use only under the supervision of a neurologist or qualified physician.
