Safely Buy Eldepryl ( Selegiline ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Eldepryl is a medication used to treat movement disorders caused by Parkinson’s disease.

Eldepryl is a monoamine oxidase-B inhibitor and prevents the breakdown of dopamine in the brain, which is associated with Parkinson’s disease.

Eldepryl does not cure Parkinson’s, but it may improve shakiness and movement problems.

Eldepryl is also known as selegiline hydrochloride and is available in tablet form. In addition, Eldepryl may be used alone in early Parkinson’s disease or combination with other medications in the later stages of the disease.

After you have been taking selegiline for 2 or 3 days, your doctor may direct you to lower your levodopa dose. Follow your doctor’s instructions closely. Do not stop or change the dose of any of your medications without first talking with your doctor.
