• Remember, it's essential not to stop taking this medicine without first consulting your doctor.

Rasalect 1 Tablet is taken orally.

Rasalect 1 Tablet contains rasagiline (1 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• MAO-B Inhibition: Rasagiline functions by blocking an enzyme in your brain called monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B). This enzyme is responsible for breaking down dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps control the brain's reward and pleasure centres and regulate movement and emotional responses.

• Increases Dopamine Levels: By blocking the enzyme MAO-B, rasagiline prevents the breakdown of dopamine. This action effectively increases the levels of dopamine in the brain, which helps to improve the motor symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease.

• Always store Rasalect 1 Tablet in its original packaging to guard it against damage.

• Keep it away from direct light and moisture.

• Ensure this medicine is kept out of reach of children.

• Remember to use the medicine before its expiry date.

• Try incorporating physical exercises into your daily routine, as they may help improve motor symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease.

• Limit your intake of protein-rich foods, since they can interfere with the absorption of medicines like Rasalect 1 Tablet. However, do ensure you consult your doctor for personalised dietary advice.
