This medication is used for the treatment of idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Initially, it may be used alone or as an adjunct therapy with dopamine agonists. Additionally, it is used as an adjunct treatment with levodopa for patients experiencing 'end of dose fluctuations,' which are motor fluctuations associated with the disease. In other words, it is actively used for the improvement of Parkinson's symptoms and enhancement of motor function.

Precautions

This medication should not be administered to patients with known allergies to the active ingredient or any other components. Furthermore, it may be dangerous when taken in conjunction with other MAO inhibitors or certain analgesics, cold medications, and antidepressants; therefore, patients who are currently taking or have recently discontinued such medications should avoid using this drug.

This medication can cause various side effects, including headache, dizziness, nausea, insomnia, muscle pain, hallucinations, depression, blood pressure changes, and skin rash. In particular, motor symptoms may worsen in Parkinson's patients, and there is a risk of sudden increases or decreases in blood pressure; hence, caution is essential. During treatment with this medication, impulse control disorders may occur, so patients and caregivers should closely monitor for changes such as compulsive behaviors, pathological gambling, and excessive spending. Drowsiness or sudden sleep symptoms might appear when driving or operating machinery, and patients experiencing such symptoms should avoid hazardous tasks. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should exercise caution when using this medication, as safety has not been established, and consulting a healthcare professional is important. Overdose can lead to serious side effects, so it is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage. Finally, store this medication out of reach of children and store it at the appropriate temperature, avoiding transferring it to another container.
