How does AZILECT work, and what are some of its benefits?
Over time, Parkinson’s disease will cause you to lose more and more dopamine in your brain. AZILECT works by blocking the breakdown of dopamine in the brain. As much as 60% to 80% of dopamine could be lost by the time PD is diagnosed. With more dopamine available in your brain, you may be able to move more freely again. Everyday tasks may become less difficult. AZILECT is the first once-daily medication for the treatment of PD.
