What is Selegiline used for?

Selegiline is primarily used to manage symptoms of Parkinson's disease, particularly in combination with other medications such as levodopa and carbidopa. It helps to enhance and extend the effects of levodopa, reducing symptoms such as tremors and muscle stiffness.

How does Selegiline work?

Selegiline is a type of drug known as a monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitor. It works by blocking the action of the enzyme MAO-B in the brain, which increases the levels of dopamine, thereby helping to control the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

What are the possible side effects of Selegiline?

Common side effects include dizziness, nausea, stomach pain, sleep problems, and mouth sores or ulcers. Serious side effects can include severe high blood pressure, hallucinations, confusion, and other intense urges such as increased sexual urges or gambling.

Can Selegiline be used with other medications?

Selegiline may interact with various medications, including other antidepressants, opioid pain medications, and certain over-the-counter supplements. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting Selegiline to ensure all potential drug interactions are considered.

What foods should be avoided while taking Selegiline?

When taking Selegiline, especially at higher doses used for treating depression, you should avoid foods high in tyramine. Tyramine is found in aged cheeses, cured meats, some beers, and fermented foods, which can cause dangerously high blood pressure when combined with Selegiline.

How should Selegiline be taken?

Selegiline is available in oral tablets, including disintegrating tablets, and is usually taken once or twice a day, depending on the form. It should not be taken in the evening to prevent sleep disturbances.
