Mylan &#8211; Rasagiline uses, dose and side effects"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>1 mg&nbsp;rasagiline&nbsp;tablets<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Rasagiline Mylan is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rasagiline Mylan contains the active substance rasagiline and is used to treat&nbsp;Parkinson&#8217;s disease&nbsp;in adults.&nbsp;It can be used with or without&nbsp;levodopa&nbsp;(another medicine used to treat&nbsp;Parkinson&#8217;s disease&nbsp;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In\u00a0Parkinson&#8217;s disease, there is a lack of cells that produce\u00a0dopamine\u00a0in the brain.\u00a0Dopamine\u00a0is a substance in the brain involved in movement control.\u00a0Rasagiline Mylan helps increase and maintain\u00a0dopamine\u00a0levels in the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before you take Rasagiline Mylan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not take Rasagiline Mylan:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to rasagiline or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)<\/li><li>if you have severe liver problems.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do not take the<\/strong>&nbsp;following medicines while taking Rasagiline Mylan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors

wort.<\/li><li>pethidine (a powerful painkiller).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You must wait at least 14 days after stopping Rasagiline Mylan treatment before starting treatment with&nbsp;an MAOI&nbsp;or pethidine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor before taking Rasagiline Mylan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you have liver problems<\/li><li>if you have any kind of suspected skin change.&nbsp;Treatment with Rasagiline Mylan may increase the risk of skin cancer.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you or your family\/caregiver notice that you are developing unusual behavior where you can not resist impulses urges or temptations to engage in certain activities that may harm yourself or others.\u00a0This behavior is called impulse control disorder.\u00a0In patients taking Rasagiline Mylan and\/or other medicines for\u00a0Parkinson&#8217;s disease, obsessive-compulsive behavior, obsessive-compulsive disorder, gambling addiction, excessive spending, impulsive behavior, and an abnormally high sex drive or an increase in sexual thoughts or feelings have been observed.\u00a0Your doctor may need to adjust your\u00a0dose\u00a0or stop treatment (see section 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rasagiline Mylan can cause drowsiness and cause you to suddenly fall asleep in connection with everyday activities during the day.&nbsp;This is especially true if you are also taking other dopaminergic medicines (used to treat&nbsp;Parkinson&#8217;s disease&nbsp;).&nbsp;For further information, see the section Driving and using machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not relevant to use Rasagiline Mylan in children and adolescents.&nbsp;Rasagiline Mylan is therefore not recommended for use under 18 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Rasagiline Mylan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor before taking Rasagiline Mylan with any of the following medicines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Certain antidepressant drugs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, selective\u00a0serotonin\u00a0noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic or tetracyclic

Rasagaline Mylan may affect your ability to do so.\u00a0Rasagiline Mylan can make you feel dizzy and drowsy.\u00a0It can also cause sudden sleep attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may be worse if you are taking other medicines to treat the symptoms of\u00a0Parkinson&#8217;s disease\u00a0, if you are taking medicines that may cause drowsiness or if you drink alcohol while taking Rasagiline Mylan.\u00a0If you have experienced drowsiness ( somnolence\u00a0) and \/ or sudden sleep attacks\u00a0before or in connection with taking Rasagaline Mylan, do not drive or use machines (see section 2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to take Rasagiline Mylan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you.&nbsp;Ask your doctor or

immediately.&nbsp;Bring the carton \/ blister pack of Rasagiline Mylan to see your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reported symptoms due to overdose of Rasagaline Mylan include mild euphoric mood (a mild form of mania), extremely high&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;and serotonergic syndrome (see section 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you forget to take Rasagiline Mylan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not take a double&nbsp;dose&nbsp;to make up for a forgotten&nbsp;dose&nbsp;.&nbsp;Take the next&nbsp;dose&nbsp;as usual, when it&#8217;s time to take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you stop taking Rasagiline Mylan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not stop taking Rasagiline Mylan without talking to your doctor first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any further
