In addition, in clinical trials compared to placebo, skin cancer was observed in about 1% of patients.

You should speak with your doctor about any suspicious changes in your skin.

Parkinson's disease is associated with symptoms of hallucinations and confusion. In post-marketing experience, these symptoms have also been observed in patients with Parkinson's disease treated with Rasagilina MABO.

There have been cases of patients who, while taking one or more medications for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, were unable to resist the impulse, desire, or temptation to perform an action that could be harmful to themselves or others. These are known as impulse control disorders. In patients taking rasagilina or other medications used to treat Parkinson's disease, the following disorders have been observed:

• Obsessive thoughts or impulsive behavior.
• Strong impulse to gamble excessively, despite severe personal or family consequences.
• Altered or increased sexual interest and behavior, of special concern to you or others, for example, an increase in sexual impulse.
• Uncontrolled and excessive purchases or spending.

Inform your doctor if you experience any of these behaviors; they will consider ways to treat or reduce symptoms.
