May cause hypertension (including severe hypertensive syndromes) at recommended doses May exacerbate hypertension; antihypertensive drugs may require dosage adjustment May cause hypotension, especially orthostatic May cause serotonin syndrome when used with antidepressants Daytime drowsiness and somnolence reported during activities of daily living May cause or exacerbate dyskinesia; decreasing the levodopa dose may lessen or eliminate this side effect Hallucinations and psychotic-like behavior reported Impulse control/compulsive behaviors reported; case reports describe patients with intense urges to gamble, increased sexual urges, intense urges to spend money, or binge eat Withdrawal-emergent hyperpyrexia and confusion reported with rapid dose reduction of drugs that increase central dopaminergic tone; this is characterized by elevated temperature, muscular rigidity, altered consciousness, and autonomic instability Lactation There are no data on presence of drug in human milk or effects on breastfed infant; in rats, rasagiline was shown to inhibit prolactin secretion; the clinical relevance in humans is unknown, and there are no data on effects of rasagiline on prolactin secretion in humans The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for therapy and potential adverse effects on breastfed infant from drug or from underlying maternal condition
