CompositionXafinact 50 Tablet is a specialised medication used in the management of Parkinson’s disease. It contains Safinamide, which belongs to a class of medicines known as MAO-B inhibitors. It works by preventing the breakdown of dopamine in the brain, thereby increasing the levels of this chemical messenger responsible for smooth and coordinated muscle movement. This helps reduce the ""off"" episodes, periods where other medications stop working, and symptoms return.
By stabilising dopamine levels, the medicine helps alleviate the primary symptoms of Parkinson’s, such as tremors, muscle stiffness, and difficulty initiating movement. It is typically prescribed as an ""add-on"" therapy alongside other medications like Levodopa. Before starting treatment, ensure you disclose all other supplements or antidepressants you are taking, as Safinamide can interact with various substances that affect brain chemistry.
