Hypersexuality Induced by Rasagiline in Monotherapy in Parkinso ns Disease

Cristina Simonet, Beatriz Fernandez, Debora Maria Cerdan and Jacinto Duarte

Impulse control disorders (ICDs), such as hyper sexuality (HS), are well-known in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), especially those treated with dopamine agonists. Although it is unusual, some cases have been published about the association between monoamine oxidase inhibitor type B (MAO-B) and ICD. Here, we report the second case of hyper sexuality in a patient with PD treated de novo with rasagiline alone. Although we found other similar cases regarding selegiline or rasagiline but always in association with other drugs, like dopamine agonists.
