XAFINACT 100MG TABLETS

Xafinact tablet is a medicine used to treat adults with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease. It is usually prescribed along with other Parkinson’s medicines, such as levodopa, to help improve movement-related symptoms like stiffness, slowness, and tremors, and to reduce “off” periods when symptoms return between doses. Improving movement control can help patients perform daily activities more comfortably. This medicine works by increasing the level of dopamine in the brain. It does so by selectively inhibiting monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B), which normally degrades dopamine. By preventing dopamine breakdown, Xafinact tablet prolongs its action and enhances its efficacy, supporting smoother, better-controlled movements. Xafinact tablet should be taken exactly as advised by the doctor. It is usually swallowed whole with water and is best taken with or after food to reduce stomach-related side effects. Taking it at the same time each day helps maintain consistent benefits, and the prescribed dose should not be exceeded. Certain precautions are important while using this medicine. Patients should inform their doctor about all other medicines they are taking, especially antidepressants, pain medicines, or drugs that affect brain chemicals, as interactions may occur. Extra caution is needed in individuals with liver disease or a history of eye or retinal disease, as the medication may not be suitable in these cases. Some patients may notice side effects such as increased involuntary movements when taken with levodopa, or unusual behavior changes like impulsive actions or strong urges. Caregivers should also be aware of these possible changes. Xafinact tablet is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless clearly advised by a doctor, due to limited safety information.
