Rasagiline (Azilect) improves motor OFF periods in Parkinson's

Abstract

"Patients treated with levodopa for a number of years often recognise periods through the day when they feel a good effect from their medication ('ON' periods) and times when the effect wears off ('OFF' periods). New results from the LARGO study show that Rasagiline (Azilect) in addition to levodopa improves scores of motor function and activities of daily living during 'OFF' periods."
