Description
Indications
Safinamide is prescribed in conjunction with a combination of levodopa and carbidopa to manage “off” episodes. These episodes are characterized by difficulties in movement, walking, and speech, which can occur as a result of the wearing off of medication or unpredictably. This treatment is intended for individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD), a neurological disorder that leads to challenges with motor skills, muscle coordination, and balance. Safinamide belongs to a category of drugs known as monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B) inhibitors. Its mechanism of action involves boosting the levels of dopamine, a natural substance crucial for regulating movement, in the brain.
Uses and Dosage
Take this medication orally, with or without food, following your doctor’s instructions, typically once a day.
The prescribed dosage depends on your medical condition and how you respond to the treatment. Do not increase the dose or take it more frequently than directed. Doing so will not expedite your recovery and may heighten the risk of side effects.
To ensure maximum benefits, adhere to a regular medication schedule, taking it at the same time each day.
Do not discontinue this medication without consulting your doctor, as abrupt cessation may exacerbate certain conditions. Your doctor may recommend a gradual reduction of the dose.
In rare cases, consuming a substantial amount of tyramine while taking safinamide and for two weeks after discontinuation may result in a severe spike in blood pressure. Avoid tyramine-rich foods, such as aged cheeses. Consult your doctor or a dietician for guidance on which foods to avoid. If you experience discomfort after consuming specific foods or beverages while on this medication, seek medical attention.
