Zelapar (Selegiline) Information

Zelapar (selegiline) is a drug belonging to the class of Monoamine Oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitors. It is indicated as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) in patients who are currently receiving levodopa/carbidopa and are experiencing motor fluctuations, or "wearing off." Unlike the standard oral tablet form of selegiline (Eldepryl), Zelapar is an Orally Disintegrating Tablet (ODT) that dissolves rapidly on the tongue. The mechanism of action centers on selectively and irreversibly inhibiting the enzyme MAO-B, which breaks down dopamine in the central nervous system. By blocking this enzyme, Zelapar increases and prolongs the availability of dopamine to stimulate receptors, thereby extending the effects of levodopa and providing smoother control of motor symptoms. The ODT formulation is designed for absorption through the buccal (cheek) mucosa, which may bypass first-pass liver metabolism and reduce the production of potentially toxic amphetamine metabolites.

Treatment is typically initiated at 1.25 mg once daily for at least 6 weeks, taken in the morning before breakfast. The dose may be increased to a maximum of 2.5 mg once a day if a desired benefit has not been achieved and the patient is tolerating the medication. The ODT must be taken without liquid. Patients should be instructed to peel back the foil from the blister pack (do not push it through) and gently place the tablet on the tongue, where it will dissolve in seconds. To ensure proper absorption, patients must avoid eating or drinking anything for 5 minutes before and after taking the dose.
