There is a lot of Eldepryl information available online and from different books on medicine. However, you do not need to read through every Eldepryl information that you can find especially if you do not like going through all the medical terms. All you need to do is to remember a few things.

How it works

The drug is used for treating the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, as well as senile dementia. It works by preventing a chemical in your brain called dopamine from breaking down since it has been observed that low levels of this brain chemical results to Parkinson's disease.

According to Eldepryl information, Selegiline is the generic name.

It's up to your doctor

Before running to the pharmacy to buy Eldepryl, make sure you get the right prescription from the doctor. Remember that it is up for them to decide whether it is time for the patient to start taking Eldepryl. Ask them also for some Eldepryl information so you can have an idea on the right dosage to give to the patient.

Combining with Sinemet

A lot of doctors see the benefit of making the patient take Eldepryl with another drug, Sinemet, especially if the patient has already been prescribed with the latter before Eldepryl. There are 2 benefits to taking Sinemet with Eldepryl:

1. Sinemet is able to improve the symptoms because it replaces the lost dopamine
2. Eldepryl aids in the conservation of the remaining dopamine. Furthermore, it helps minimize the side effects of Sinemet on the person.

Things to avoid

The patient should avoid taking Eldepryl if they are taking other medications that include the following: weight loss pills, antidepressants, and cold or cough medication. Foods that are high in tyramine should also be avoided like dried or fermented meats, soy beans, tofu, unpasteurized beer, and aged cheeses.

It's working well if...

If the patient is taking other important medication, some dosage adjustments should be made on them by the physician, including Sinemet. You can tell if Eldepryl is working upon observation that the patient is beginning to experience the typical side effects that are related to the increasing amount of dopamine in their system.

While taking Eldepryl

If the patient is taking Eldepryl for a long time, they can continue living normal but active lives even with Parkinson's disease. The patient also needs to follow the physician's instructions especially when it comes to taking the right dose. Monitor the progress of the patient on how they are feeling, what kinds of activities they can do, and the bad things they are experiencing when taking the drug.

Be aware of side effects

Take note of the serious side effects related to Eldepryl and discuss them with the physician when the patient starts experiencing them. Among the serious side effects include painful urination, hallucinations, feeling agitated, restless or irritable, muscle twitching, fainting and feeling light-headed, seizures, and severe and sudden headaches.
