id="Safinamide.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Safinamide is an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase used as adjunctive therapy in combination with levodopa and carbidopa in the management of Parkinson’s disease. Safinamide has been associated with a low rate of serum enzyme elevations during treatment, but has not been linked to instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.</p></div><div id="Safinamide.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Safinamide (sa fin' a mide) is a potent and highly specific inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO) type B which is a major enzyme in the degradation pathway of dopamine and levodopa metabolism. As a result, safinamide results in an increase in the bioavailability of levodopa enhancing and increasing the duration of its effects in Parkinson disease. Safinamide was approved for use in the United States in 2017, the third MAO-B inhibitor approved for use in Parkinson disease, and is currently approved for use only as an adjunct to levodopa therapy. Safinamide is available in tablets of 50 and 100 mg under the brand name Xadago. Safinamide is typically given in oral doses of 50 or 100 mg once daily in combination with levodopa/carbidopa. Common side effects include dyskinesia, falls, nausea, abdominal pain, cough, hypertension, headache, blurred vision, dizziness, insomnia and tremor–most of which are attributable to enhanced dopaminergic effects. Rare, but potentially severe side effects include severe hypertension, serotonin syndrome, daytime sleepiness, hallucinations, difficulties with impulse control, hypersexuality and compulsive behavior. Unlike some other MAO inhibitors, safinamide has not been shown to cause increased susceptibility to dietary tyramine inducing hypertensive crises ("cheese effect").</p></div><div id="Safinamide.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Safinamide has been reported to cause serum enzyme elevations in a small proportion of patients treated long term, although the abnormalities were usually mild and self-limiting and were usually no more frequent than with placebo or comparator agents. Safinamide has not been implicated in cases of acute liver injury, but such instances have been reported with nonspecific MAO inhibitors.</p><p>Likelihood score: E (unlikely cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Safinamide.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The mechanism by which safinamide might cause liver injury is not known. Safinamide is extensively metabolized but has no effect on cytochrome P450 enzymes or hepatic transporters and significant drug-drug interactions have not been demonstrated. Patients taking MAO inhibitors should avoid use of serotonin reuptake inhibitors and sympathomimetic medications.</p></div><div id="Safinamide.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>Instances of hepatotoxicity attributed to safinamide have been mild and self-limiting elevations in serum enzymes. No instances of severe liver injury, acute liver failure, chronic hepatitis or vanishing bile duct syndrome have been linked to safinamide use.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/AntiparkinsonAgents/?report=reader">Antiparkinson Agents</a></p><p>Other Drugs in the Subclass, Selective MAO-B Inhibitors: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Rasagiline/?report=reader">Rasagiline</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Selegiline/?report=reader">Selegiline</a></p></div></div><div id="Safinamide.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Safinamide_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><div id="Safinamide.BPI" class="box boxed-text-box whole_rhythm hide-overflow"><p>
