Azilect, whose generic name is rasagiline, is a medication used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It works by inhibiting the enzyme monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B), which breaks down dopamine in the brain. By slowing this breakdown, Azilect helps increase and maintain dopamine levels, thereby improving motor function and reducing symptoms such as tremors and stiffness.
