1. What is Anaxira and what is it used for

Anaxira contains the active ingredient rasagilina and is indicated for the treatment of Parkinson's disease in adults. It may be used with or without Levodopa (another medication used to treat Parkinson's disease).

With Parkinson's disease, there is a loss of cells that produce dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a brain chemical involved in the control of movement. Rasagilina helps to increase and maintain dopamine levels in the brain.

2. What you need to know before starting to take Anaxira

Do not take Anaxira

-if you are allergic to rasagilina or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

-if you have severe liver problems.

Do not take the following medications while taking rasagilina:

-monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO) (e.g., for the treatment of depression or Parkinson's disease, or for another indication), including medications and natural products without a prescription, e.g., St. John's Wort.

-petidina (a potent analgesic).

You should wait at least 14 days after stopping treatment with rasagilina and starting treatment with MAO inhibitors or petidina.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take rasagilina.

-If you have any liver problems.

-You should talk to your doctor about any suspicious changes in your skin.

Inform your doctor if you or your family/caregiver notice that you are exhibiting unusual behaviors that you cannot resist, an urgent need or an intense desire to perform certain activities that are harmful or detrimental to yourself or others. These are known as impulse control disorders. In patients taking rasagilina and/or other medications used to treat Parkinson's disease, behaviors such as compulsions, obsessive thoughts, ludomania, excessive spending, impulsive behavior, and an abnormally high or increased sexual impulse or thoughts have been observed. Your doctor may need to adjust or discontinue your dose (see section 4).

Rasagilina may cause drowsiness and make you fall asleep suddenly while performing daily activities, especially if you are taking other dopaminergic medications (used to treat Parkinson's disease). If you want more information, see the section “Driving and operating machines”.

Children and adolescents

The use of rasagilina in children and adolescents is not relevant. Therefore, rasagilina is not recommended for minors under 18 years old.

Use of Anaxira with other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication.

Inform your doctor, especially if you are taking any of the following medications:

-certain antidepressants (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, or tetracyclic antidepressants).

-the antibiotic ciprofloxacin used against infections.

-the antitussive dextromethorphan.

-sympathomimetics such as those found in eye drops, nasal and oral decongestants, and medications for cataracts containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine.

You should avoid using rasagilina with antidepressants containing fluoxetine or fluvoxamine. If you are starting your treatment with rasagilina, you should wait at least 5 weeks since the interruption of treatment with fluoxetine.

If you are starting your treatment with fluoxetine or fluvoxamine, you should wait at least 14 days since the interruption of treatment with rasagilina.

Inform your doctor if you smoke or intend to quit smoking. Smoking may decrease the amount of rasagilina in the blood.

TakingAnaxirawith food and drinks

Anaxira can be taken with or without food.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

You should avoid taking rasagilina if you are pregnant, as the effects of rasagilina on pregnancy and the fetus are unknown.

Driving and operating machines

Consult your doctor before driving or operating machines, as both Parkinson's disease and treatment with rasagilina may affect your ability to perform these activities. Rasagilina may cause dizziness or drowsiness, as well as sudden episodes of sleep.

This may increase if you take other medications for Parkinson's disease symptoms, if you take medications that can cause drowsiness, or if you consume alcohol during treatment with rasagilina. If you have experienced drowsiness and/or sudden episodes of sleep before or during treatment with rasagilina, do not drive or operate machines (see section 2).

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicological Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested. Bring the packaging of rasagilina to show to your doctor or pharmacist.
