About Relgin 0.5 Tablet 10's

Relgin 0.5 Tablet 10's belongs to a class of antiparkinson agents. It is used alone or in combination with another medication to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is a condition in which regions of the brain gradually weaken over time. Parkinson's disease symptoms include involuntary shaking of certain body parts (tremors), sluggish movement, and stiff and inflexible muscles. In Parkinson's patients, there is a decrease in dopamine (a chemical messenger that is important for movement control) levels as the nerve cells that produce dopamine begin to die.

Relgin 0.5 Tablet 10's contains Rasagiline. It works by increasing the amount of dopamine, a chemical messenger needed to control movement in the brain. Thus, it helps treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Parkinson's disease (PD) is also known as a movement disorder that mainly affects a person's ability to perform regular activities. It is a chronic and progressive disorder that can worsen with time if proper treatment is not provided at the right time. Some common symptoms faced by many persons include tremors at rest, stiffness of the limbs, slow movement, difficulty in movement or walking, and impaired balance. Other motor symptoms include trouble in solving problems, small handwriting, stooped posture, etc. This disease also affects the brain's ability to work properly, such as sleep disturbances, reduced ability to smell, depression, fatigue, and anxiety. However, the symptoms of this disease vary from person to person. There are certain neurons present in the brain that are responsible for making dopamine. This neurotransmitter helps to regulate the movement of the body. Loss of dopamine is supposed to be the primary reason for the occurrence of Parkinson's disease.
