How does this medicine work?

Selegiline blocks an enzyme called monoamine oxidase-B that breaks down dopamine in the brain. By slowing this breakdown, it increases dopamine levels, which helps control the involuntary movements and stiffness that occur with Parkinson's disease.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way selegiline works and increase the risk of dangerous side effects. Tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking. In particular, inform your doctor if you are taking antidepressant medicines or other medicines for mood disorders, or any other medications, as selegiline can interact with them.

Interactions with food items

Avoid eating foods high in tyramine while taking this medicine, as they can cause a dangerous rise in blood pressure. Foods to avoid include aged cheeses, cured and processed meats, soy sauce, and draft beers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
