Xadago is a brand name for the medication safinamide, which is used as an adjunctive treatment for patients with Parkinson's Disease who are currently taking a stable dose of Levodopa/Carbidopa and experiencing 'off' episodes. It works by inhibiting the monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) enzyme, which helps to increase dopamine levels in the brain, potentially improving the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease.

How is this medication used?

Xadago is taken orally, once daily, with or without food. Patients should follow their healthcare provider's instructions regarding the dosage, which may vary based on individual requirements and response to treatment.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of Xadago include insomnia, nausea, dyskinesia (difficulty in performing voluntary movements), and hypertension. Less common but more serious side effects can include serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition especially if taken with other drugs that increase serotonin levels.

What are the potential interactions?

Xadago should not be taken with other monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) due to the risk of severe hypertension. It may also interact with antidepressants, opioid pain or cough medications, and supplements like St. John's Wort, potentially leading to serotonin syndrome. Patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications and supplements they are taking.
