levodopa and Azilect Interactions
interactions between:
levodopa
Azilect (rasagiline)
Interaction(s) found
levodopa and rasagiline (Moderate Drug-Drug)
MONITOR: Rasagiline may potentiate the dopaminergic side effects of levodopa and exacerbate preexisting dyskinesia. The mechanism is rasagiline inhibition of the breakdown of dopamine via monoamine oxidase. In clinical trials, treatment-emergent dyskinesia occurred in about 18% of patients treated with rasagiline 0.5 or 1 mg/day as adjunct to levodopa, compared to 10% of patients who received levodopa with placebo.
