Eldepryl Information

Eldepryl (Selegiline) is primarily used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is a neurological condition where the brain loses dopamine-producing cells. Dopamine is a chemical that helps control body movement and coordination. Therefore, when dopamine levels drop, like in Parkinson's disease, individuals develop tremors, muscle stiffness, slow movement, loss of coordination, and other related difficulties.

Eldepryl can be used alone, especially in the early stage of this disease, to delay the need to start conventional drugs like Levodopa. However, it is commonly used alongside medications containing dopamine, such as levodopa/carbidopa, when the symptoms start to fluctuate or the effects of the levodopa begin to wear off too quickly.

Eldepryl belongs to a class of drugs called Monoamine Oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitors. In the brain, the enzyme Monoamine Oxidase B (MAO-B) breaks down the neurotransmitter dopamine. Selegiline essentially binds to the enzyme and blocks its activity. This effect keeps dopamine levels at optimal levels and prolongs the action of naturally produced dopamine or levodopa-supplied dopamine. This, in turn, helps alleviate the movement symptoms (such as tremor, rigidity, and slowed movement) associated with Parkinson's.
