FDA approves drug to treat Parkinson's disease

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Xadago (safinamide) tablets as an add-on treatment for patients with Parkinson's disease who are currently taking levodopa/carbidopa and experiencing "off" episodes. An "off" episode is a time when a patient’s medications are not working well, causing an increase in Parkinson's symptoms, such as tremor and difficulty walking.
