Selgin Tablet contains Selegiline (5 mg), an anti-Parkinson’s medication. It is used to help manage symptoms of Parkinson’s disease by increasing levels of dopamine in the brain, which supports better control of movement, reducing stiffness, tremors, and slowness.
How it works:
Selegiline is a selective monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibitor at standard doses. By blocking MAO-B, it slows the breakdown of dopamine in the brain, thereby enhancing dopaminergic activity and improving motor function.
Uses / Indications:
-
As part of treatment for Parkinson’s disease
-
To reduce motor fluctuations and augment the effects of levodopa therapy
-
To improve movement, reduce rigidity, tremor, and slowness
