Selegos (Selegiline) 5mg Tablet 100s (Box)

Selegos 5mg Tablet is a selective monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B) inhibitor, with selegiline as its active ingredient. Before starting this medicine, it's important to know that common effects include dizziness, headache, nausea, and tiredness, which can affect concentration and the ability to drive. It's a prescription medicine that's often used alongside another Parkinson's therapy, and your doctor may adjust that other medication's dose over time. Because this medicine belongs to the MAOI family, it carries specific precautions around certain other medications, so your doctor will review your full medication list carefully before and during treatment.

The typical dose is 10mg (2 tablets) daily, either taken as a single morning dose or split into two 5mg doses at breakfast and lunch, whether used alone or alongside levodopa therapy. Your doctor will determine the exact regimen and may adjust your levodopa dose once Selegos is introduced.

• Dizziness
• Headache
• Nausea
• Tiredness or fatigue
• Involuntary movements (dyskinesia), particularly when combined with high-dose levodopa
• Insomnia
• Dry mouth
• Confusion (uncommon, particularly in elderly patients)

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep in original packaging and out of reach of children.

• Take at a fixed time each day for consistent effect
• Never combine with restricted opioids or other MAOIs without medical advice
• Inform your doctor of all medications, including over-the-counter and herbal products
• Be cautious with sudden urges related to gambling, shopping, or eating — report these to your doctor
• Avoid driving until you know how this medicine affects you
• Store below 30°C away from moisture and sunlight
• Keep in original packaging and out of reach of children

Selegos 5mg Tablet is taken orally, swallowed whole with water, and is typically given at a fixed time each day. It may be taken as a single morning dose or in two divided doses at breakfast and lunch, depending on your doctor's instructions.

This tablet typically has a shelf life of around 2 to 3 years from manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Check the expiry date on the packaging before use.

Each tablet contains 5mg of Selegiline, a selective MAO-B inhibitor that helps preserve dopamine levels in the brain, supporting movement-related symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Selegos should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to selegiline, and should not be combined with certain opioids (such as pethidine, tramadol, or methadone), other MAO inhibitors, or St. John's Wort, due to the risk of serious reactions including serotonin syndrome or hypertensive crisis.
It is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as safety data in these groups is limited.

At standard Parkinson's disease doses, Selegos does not typically require dietary tyramine restrictions, unlike older non-selective MAO inhibitors, though caution increases at higher doses.
It should not be combined with certain antidepressants, opioids, other MAO inhibitors, or sympathomimetic medications like ephedrine, so it's essential to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you're taking.
