LONG TERM EFFECTS OF RASAGILINE ON PARKINSON'S DISEASE
 Rasagiline
is a MAO inhibitor, sold as Azilect, which is used for the treatment of
Parkinson's Disease. For more information go to
Azilect
In the long term there has been found to be no advantage
in starting the use of rasagiline early rather than delaying its use. After
three years the Parkinson's Disease symptoms scores did not differ between
those who started early and those who delayed its use. In both groups there
was a worsening of their symptoms overall. Additionally, 43% of patients had
onset of unsteady gait and balance impairment, 35% had fallen, 26% had
freezing of gait, and 33% had cognitive decline.
