Description
Rasalect 1 mg is used mainly as a standalone medication or other medications to treat movement disorders caused by Parkinson’s disease. It may also be prescribed for conditions not mentioned over here. Rasagiline, the active substance, is a monoamine Oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibitor that prevents the breakdown of certain crucial substances in the brain (neurotransmitters– dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin) that are important for several processes in the body. The drug has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic activities. The medicine is thought to work by inhibiting enzyme complex prostaglandin synthetase, thus reducing prostaglandins’ synthesis from arachidonic acid. This eases the various symptoms of pain and headaches.
