Alzilo 0.5mg Tablet

Alzilo 0.5mg Tablet, made by Searle Company Limited, is an MAO-B inhibitor for Parkinson’s disease. Its active ingredient is Rasagiline 0.5mg, and it is used for parkinson's disease. Pack size: 1×10 tablets.

Uses of Alzilo 0.5mg Tablet

Alzilo 0.5mg Tablet is used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, such as slowness, stiffness and tremor. In early Parkinson’s it may be used on its own, and in later stages it is added to levodopa to smooth out wearing-off, when symptoms return before the next dose is due. It helps manage symptoms but does not stop the underlying condition from progressing.

How Alzilo 0.5mg Tablet works

Rasagiline blocks monoamine oxidase type B, an enzyme in the brain that breaks down dopamine. With the enzyme blocked, the dopamine that is still available lasts longer, which helps ease the movement problems caused by its shortage in Parkinson’s disease.

Possible side effects

Alzilo 0.5mg Tablet is often well tolerated, though some people notice:

• Headache
• Joint or muscle pain
• Indigestion
• Flu-like symptoms
• Dizziness when standing up
• Involuntary movements, when taken with levodopa

Tell your doctor promptly about hallucinations or confusion, falling asleep suddenly during daily activities, new compulsive behaviours such as gambling or binge eating, or any new or changing skin moles.
