Corrected introduction to be in accordance with ref. 1, which says that trials to determine whether rasagiline is MAO-B selective have NOT YET been conducted. 208.102.122.87 (talk) 02:27, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article is biased and appears to be written by the manufacturer

[edit]

Aziltec (Rasagiline) is an MAO inhibitor. Pharmacists in the USA who see this drug being prescribed will immediately check for contraindications of MAO inhibitors with other drugs and that is a very long list. Aziltec is one of the few remaining MAO inhibitors still in use. The "Safety" section of this article should be expanded. Heaven forbid someone take Aziltec with a serotonin reuptake inhibitor like Paxil or Klonopin. Frank Layden (talk) 00:21, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it did suck. I just worked it over. Jytdog (talk) 05:48, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is this really an MAO-B?

[edit]

The study provided showing that this is an MAO-B was written by the manufacturer.

"and appears to be especially useful in dealing with non-motor symptoms like fatigue" that doesn't seem right

"Side effects when the drug is taken alone include flu-like symptoms, joint pain, depression, stomach upset, headache, dizziness, and insomnia" this sounds a lot like the effects of serotonin

Also look at the molecular structure it's literally shaped like a serotonin molecule

Whereas selegiline which definitely is a dopaminergic drug is shaped like a dopamine molecule.

Something doesn't seem quite right with this medication. JoeC46 (talk) 13:03, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
