Xadago, also known by its generic name safinamide, is a medication used to treat Parkinson's disease. It is typically prescribed as an add-on treatment to levodopa/carbidopa therapy in patients experiencing "off" episodes, where the effects of their primary medication wear off and symptoms return. Xadago works by inhibiting monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) and modulating glutamate release, helping to improve motor function and reduce symptoms.
