title: Rasagiline. Parkinson's disease: a simple me-too.
abstract: In Parkinson's disease, rasagiline, either alone (in early stage disease) or combined with levodopa, provides nothing new in terms of efficacy or tolerability. It is better to continue using one of the many anti-parkinson drugs with which we have more experience rather than expose patients to a new drug which offers no advantages.
