it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rasagiline Glenmark 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 chemical substance in the brain that is involved in movement control.\u00a0Rasagiline Glenmark helps increase and maintain\u00a0dopamine\u00a0levels in the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rasagiline contained in Rasagiline Glenmark 1 mg tablets may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before you take Rasagiline Glenmark<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not take Rasagiline Glenmark<\/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>Do not take the&nbsp;following medicines while taking Rasagilin Glenmark&nbsp;<strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors (eg for the treatment of depression or&nbsp;Parkinson&#8217;s disease&nbsp;or for any other indication), including over-the-counter medicines and herbal medicines, e.g.&nbsp;St. John&#8217;s wort&nbsp;.<\/li><li>Pethidine (a powerful painkiller).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You must wait at least 14 days after stopping treatment with Rasagiline Glenmark before starting treatment with MAOIs 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 Rasagilin Glenmark<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you have liver problems<\/li><li>Talk to your doctor about any suspected skin changes.&nbsp;Treatment with Rasagiline Glenmark may increase the risk of skin cancer.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you or your family \/ carer notice that you are developing an unusual behavior where you can not resist impulses, urges or temptations to perform certain activities that may harm yourself or others.&nbsp;These are called impulse control disorders.&nbsp;In patients taking Rasagiline Glenmark and \/ or other Parkinson&#8217;s&nbsp;drugs&nbsp;, obsessive-compulsive behavior, obsessive-compulsive disorder, gambling addiction, excessive spending, impulsive behavior, and abnormally high sexual drive or an increase in sexual thoughts or feelings have been observed.&nbsp;Your doctor may need to adjust your&nbsp;dose&nbsp;or stop your treatment (see section 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rasagiline Glenmark 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 Glenmark in children and adolescents.&nbsp;Rasagiline Glenmark is therefore not recommended for use in children and adolescents below 18 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Rasagiline Glenmark<\/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>It is especially important that you tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Certain antidepressant drugs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, selective&nbsp;serotonin&nbsp;ornoradrenaline reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic or tetracyclic antidepressants)<\/li><li>Antibiotic&nbsp;drug&nbsp;ciprofloxacin&nbsp;for&nbsp;infection&nbsp;_<\/li><li>The antitussive drug dextromethorphan<\/li><li>Sympathomimetics&nbsp;of the type found in&nbsp;eye drops&nbsp;, decongestants for the nose and throat and cold medicines containing&nbsp;ephedrine&nbsp;or pseudoephedrine.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of Rasagiline Glenmark in combination with antidepressants containing&nbsp;fluoxetine&nbsp;or fluvoxamine should be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you start treatment with Rasagilin Glenmark, you should wait at least 5 weeks after stopping treatment with&nbsp;fluoxetine&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you start treatment with&nbsp;fluoxetine&nbsp;or fluvoxamine, you should wait at least 14 days after stopping treatment with Rasagilin Glenmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you smoke or plan to quit smoking.&nbsp;Smoking may reduce the amount of Rasagiline Glenmark in the blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it is not known how Rasagilin Glenmark affects pregnancy and the unborn baby, you should avoid taking Rasagilin Glenmark if you are pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor before driving or using machines, as both&nbsp;Parkinson&#8217;s disease&nbsp;itself and treatment with Rasagiline Glenmark may affect your ability to do so.&nbsp;Rasagiline Glenmark may make you feel dizzy and drowsy.&nbsp;It 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&nbsp;Parkinson&#8217;s disease&nbsp;, if you are taking medicines that may cause drowsiness or if you drink alcohol while taking Rasagilin Glenmark.&nbsp;If you have experienced drowsiness ( somnolence&nbsp;) and \/ or sudden sleep attacks before or in connection with taking Rasagilin Glenmark,&nbsp;do not drive or use machines (see section 2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.&nbsp;One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and \/ or&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;.&nbsp;Descriptions of these effects and&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;can be found in other sections.&nbsp;Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.&nbsp;If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to take Rasagiline Glenmark<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you.&nbsp;Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recommended&nbsp;dose&nbsp;of Rasagiline Glenmark is 1 tablet of 1 mg, once daily, taken orally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rasagiline Glenmark can be taken with or without food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you take more Rasagilin Glenmark than you should<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have ingested too much Rasagilin Glenmark or if e.g.\u00a0If a child has ingested the medicine, contact a doctor or hospital for an assessment of the risk and advice.\u00a0Bring the carton \/ blister or jar of Rasagilin Glenmark and show it to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reported symptoms due to overdose of Rasagiline Glenmark 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 Glenmark<\/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 Rasagilin Glenmark<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not stop taking Rasagilin Glenmark without first consulting your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible
