Azilect (Rasagiline) is used to treat motor symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease, but it may not completely stop tremors. It is believed to work by preventing the breakdown of dopamine in the brain, thereby increasing the amount of dopamine available. The effectiveness of Azilect can vary from person to person.

It is believed to work by preventing the breakdown of dopamine in the brain, thereby increasing the amount of dopamine available. The effectiveness of Azilect can vary from person to person.

- Effectiveness: It may help minimize tremors and other motor symptoms but is unlikely to completely stop them.
- Monitoring: Your doctor will regularly monitor your response to Azilect. If you do not notice improvement or if symptoms worsen, consult your doctor to discuss alternative treatments or adjustments.

Always follow your doctor's instructions and report any side effects or lack of improvement.
