Relgin 1 mg Tablet

Relgin 1 mg Tablet is a prescription anti-Parkinsonian medicine that contains 1 mg of rasagiline in each tablet. It belongs to the monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibitor class and is used to help manage symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Relgin 1 mg Tablet is taken by mouth and is intended for adults whose doctor has determined that this higher-strength tablet is appropriate for their treatment plan.

How it works: Rasagiline works by blocking the MAO-B enzyme in the brain, which helps prevent the breakdown of dopamine. By helping dopamine stay available longer, Relgin 1 mg Tablet can improve movement-related symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

Relgin 1 mg Tablet is the higher-strength tablet in this brand line compared with Relgin Tablet 0.5 mg. Because each tablet already contains the full 1 mg dose, it is typically chosen for patients whose doctor wants the maintenance strength rather than a lower starting strength. It should only be used when a clinician has assessed that this dose is suitable, since the higher strength may increase the chance of side effects if it is not right for the patient.

• Treatment of Parkinson’s disease

• Swallow Relgin 1 mg Tablet whole with water.

Each Relgin 1 mg Tablet provides 1 mg of rasagiline per tablet. The doctor decides how often it should be taken; for many patients, rasagiline is taken once daily, and the maximum usual adult dose is 1 mg per day. Do not take more than prescribed, especially because this is the full-strength tablet and not the lower 0.5 mg strength.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
