What is Selegiline Hydrochloride Tablets?

Selegiline hydrochloride (Selegiline) is a prescription medicine used to help manage Parkinson's disease (PD; a neurological disorder that causes difficulty with movement, muscle control, and balance) . Selegiline hydrochloride tablets can help people with Parkinson's disease by reducing the amount of levodopa/carbidopa needed to control symptoms, preventing the effects of levodopa/carbidopa from wearing off between doses, and increasing the length of time that levodopa/carbidopa continues to control symptoms.

The mechanism of the beneficial auxiliary effect of selegiline hydrochloride tablets in the treatment of Parkinson's disease is not fully understood. Inhibiting the activity of type B monoamine oxidase is generally considered to be the most important; in addition, there is evidence that the active ingredient of Selegiline Hydrochloride Tablets, Selegiline, may increase dopaminergic activity through other mechanisms. Selegiline belongs to a group of drugs called monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B) inhibitors, which work by increasing the amount of dopamine in the brain, a natural substance needed to control movement.
