According to the below article, it slows down the disease progression

interesting research thanks for posting. Rasagaline was added into my husbands mix after 4 years of levadopa. Hard to know if it slows progression but he seems to be doing ok after 8 years of PD.

In the article it says “second generation “. Has there been an improvement on the original Rasagiline please?

Have taken it for 9 years....progression has been slow. Hard to know what is working but my neuro says to carry on. ????

The linked article is a little misleading as it does not date the clinical trials - they were done years ago and the outcomes (showed symptomatic improvement) have been discussed at length so nothing new here.

Yes! it really works! But since I started doing FAST WALKING, every second day, I have not needed any medication since 1994. Take control of your life and start to live again, medication-free and very active. I am now 88 and over this last weekend I walked in a 3 K race for Pd patients and finished it. I have been walking since 1992 and nobody woiuld ever know I have PD!

Hi John, is it too late to do this fast walking for 68yo PWP with pain, dyskinesia, tremor, rigidity, walk slow and bradykisia dominant PD?

Does Safinamide also have neuroprotective qualities?
