How Does It Work?

• Rasagail tablet is a monoamine oxidase B inhibitor that prevents the action of the chemical monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B). In the brain, a chemical called dopamine is broken down by MAO-B. Dopamine plays a role in movement coordination and control in the brain.
• Rasagail tablet increases levels of dopamine in the parts of the brain responsible for controlling movement and coordination. This helps to reduce the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, such as stiffness, shakiness, and slowness of movement.
