Rasagiline ratiopharm contains the active substance rasagiline and it is used for the treatment of Parkinson s disease in adults. It can be used together with or without Levodopa (another medicine that is used to treat Parkinson s disease).

With Parkinson s disease, there is a loss of cells that produce dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a chemical in the brain involved in movement control. Rasagiline ratiopharm helps to increase and sustain levels of dopamine in the brain.

Do not take Rasagiline ratiopharm

• If you are allergic to rasagiline or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
• If you have severe liver problems.

Do not take the following medicines while taking Rasagiline ratiopharm:

• Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors (e.g. for treatment of depression or Parkinson s disease, or used for any other indication), including medicinal and natural products without prescription e.g. St. John's Wort.
• Pethidine (a strong pain killer). You must wait at least 14 days after stopping Rasagiline ratiopharm treatment and starting treatment with MAO inhibitors or pethidine.

Warnings and precautions Talk to your doctor before taking Rasagiline ratiopharm

• If you have any liver problems
• You should speak with your doctor about any suspicious skin changes. Treatment with Rasagiline ratiopharm may possibly increase the risk of skin cancer.

Tell your doctor if you or your family/carer notices that you are developing unusual behaviours where you cannot resist the impulse, urges or cravings to carry out certain harmful or detrimental activities to yourself or others. These are called impulse control disorders. In patients taking Rasagiline ratiopharm and/or other medicines used to treat Parkinson s disease, behaviours such as compulsions, obsessive thoughts, addictive gambling, excessive spending, impulsive behaviour and an abnormally high sex drive or an increase in sexual thoughts or feelings have been observed. Your doctor may need to adjust or stop your dose (see section 4).

Rasagiline ratiopharm may cause drowsiness and may cause you to suddenly fall asleep during day time activities, especially if you are taking other dopaminergic medicinal products (used for the treatment of Parkinson s disease). For further information please refer to section driving and using machines.

Children and adolescents There is no relevant use of Rasagiline ratiopharm in children and adolescents. Therefore, Rasagiline ratiopharm is not recommended for use under the age of 18. Other medicines and Rasagiline ratiopharm Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.

Especially tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:

• Certain antidepressants (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, selective serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic or tetracyclic antidepressants)
• The antibiotic ciprofloxacin used against infections
• The cough suppressant dextromethorphan
• Sympathomimetics such as those present in eye drops, nasal and oral decongestants and cold medicine containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine The use of Rasagiline ratiopharm together with the antidepressants containing fluoxetine or fluvoxamine should be avoided. If you are starting treatment with Rasagiline ratiopharm, you should wait at least 5 weeks after stopping fluoxetine treatment. If you are starting treatment with fluoxetine or fluvoxamine, you should wait at least 14 days after stopping Rasagiline ratiopharm treatment.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are smoking or intend to stop smoking. Smoking could decrease the amount of Rasagiline ratiopharm in the blood.

Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility 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.

Driving and using machines Ask your doctor for advice before you drive and operate machines, since Parkinson s disease itself as well as the treatment with Rasagiline ratiopharm may influence your ability to do so. Rasagiline ratiopharm can make you feel dizzy or drowsy; it can also cause episodes of sudden sleep onset. This might be enhanced if you take other medicines to treat the symptoms of your Parkinson s disease, or if you take medicines which can make you feel drowsy, or if you drink alcohol while taking Rasagiline ratiopharm. If you have experienced somnolence and/or episodes of sudden sleep onset before, or while taking Rasagiline ratiopharm do not drive or operate machinery (see section 2).

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

The recommended dose of Rasagiline ratiopharm is 1 tablet of 1 mg taken by mouth once daily. Rasagiline ratiopharm may be taken with or without food.

If you forget to take Rasagiline ratiopharm Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose. Take the next dose normally, when it is time to take it.

If you stop taking Rasagiline ratiopharm Do not stop taking Rasagiline ratiopharm without first talking to your doctor.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

• If you see or hear things which are not there (hallucinations).
