1.
WHAT XADAGO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Xadago is a medicine that contains the active substance safinamide. It
acts to increase the level of a
substance called dopamine in the brain, which is involved in the
control of movement and is present in
reduced amounts in the brain of patients with Parkinson’s disease.
Xadago is used for the treatment of
Parkinson’s disease in adults.
In mid- to late-stage patients experiencing sudden switches between
being “ON” and able to move and
being “OFF” and having difficulties moving about, Xadago is added
to a stable dose of the medicine
called levodopa alone or in combination with other medicines for
Parkinson’s disease.
