Selegiline Hydrochloride is a medication primarily used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and major depressive disorder. It functions as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), specifically an irreversible selective MAO-B inhibitor, which helps to increase the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine. This increase can improve the symptoms of Parkinson's and elevate mood in cases of depression. Selegiline is also used in transdermal patches for Parkinson's treatment to avoid the first-pass metabolism in the liver and gastrointestinal system. It's important to note that Selegiline Hydrochloride should be used under medical supervision due to its potential for drug interactions and side effects.
