How to take Selegiline Hydrochloride Tablets

The recommended dosage regimen of Selegiline Hydrochloride Tablets (Selegiline) is 10 mg per day, divided into 5 mg each for breakfast and lunch. There is no evidence that higher doses confer additional benefit. Additionally, higher doses should generally be avoided due to an increased risk of side effects. After two to three days of treatment with selegiline hydrochloride tablets, you can try to reduce the dose of levodopa/carbidopa. In placebo-controlled trials, the typical number of participants assigned to treatment with selegiline hydrochloride tablets decreased by 10% to 30%. During continued selegiline therapy, further reductions in levodopa/carbidopa may be possible.

Eating foods high in tyramine can cause dangerously high levels of tyramine in the body becauseMAO metabolizes tyramine. Foods high in tyramine include aged cheeses, cured, bacon or processed meats, pickled or fermented foods, soybeans, broad beans, dried or ripe fruit, sauces such as soy sauce, and alcoholic beverages such as home brewed beer and red wine. Selective MAOIs such as selegiline hydrochloride tablets are less prone to this effect, but the selectivity of the drug decreases at higher doses. Nonetheless, patients still need to be advised to avoid these tyramine-rich foods.
