What is Selgin (Selegiline) used for?

Selgin (Selegiline) is an oral medication prescribed to treat patients who are suffering from Parkinson`s disease. It prevents the breakdown of dopamine in the brain to stop symptoms associated with this condition including tremors, stiff movement, or difficulty walking. Your doctor may also prescribe its use for the treatment of other conditions that are not listed here.

How should I use Selgin (Selegiline)?

Follow your doctor`s instructions while using Selgin (Selegiline) to ensure the most effective results from treatment. The normal dosage is one tablet taken twice daily, but your particular instructions will depend on your health condition and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a large glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a snack or meal is suggested before use if you get an upset stomach. Never change the form of the tablets by splitting or crushing the tablets as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents.

Stop using the medicine and contact your doctor as soon as possible if you experience any serious side effects including faintness, anxiety, painful urination, tremors, or a sudden severe headach, blurry vision, or impaired speech.
