WHAT IS ELDEPRYL?
Eldepryl (selegiline) works by preventing the breakdown of dopamine, a brain neurotransmitter. Parkinson’s disease is linked to low levels of dopamine. Eldepryl capsules are used in conjunction with levodopa and carbidopa to treat Parkinson’s disease symptoms.
This medication is used to treat movement disorders caused by Parkinson’s disease. It does not cure Parkinson’s disease, but it may improve shakiness (tremor), muscle stiffness, loss of normal movement as your dose of other Parkinson’s medication wears off (end-of-dose failure), and sudden switching between normal movement and stiffness (“on-off” problems). It may improve your range of motion and ability to walk, dress, and exercise. Selegiline is usually used in combination with other medicines (e.g., levodopa, carbidopa). Selegiline is an enzyme blocker (MAO inhibitor) that works by slowing the breakdown of certain natural substances in the brain (neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin).
USES
Monotherapy for initial treatment of Parkinson’s disease, as well as an adjunct therapy in patients with a decreased response to levodopa/carbadopa. Also used for the palliative treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease and at higher doses, for the treatment of depression.
