Selgin Tablet 5mg

Selgin Tablet 5mg is a tablet made by Valor Pharmaceuticals that contains Selegiline 5mg, a monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibitor. It is used for parkinson's disease. Pack size: 50 tablets.

Uses of Selgin Tablet 5mg

Selgin Tablet 5mg is used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, such as stiffness, slowness of movement and tremor. It may be used on its own in the early stages, or together with levodopa later on, where it can help smooth out the ‘wearing off’ effect that some people notice before their next levodopa dose. It eases symptoms but does not stop the underlying condition from progressing.

How Selgin Tablet 5mg works

Selegiline blocks an enzyme called monoamine oxidase type B, which normally breaks down dopamine in the brain. By slowing this breakdown, more dopamine remains available to carry the signals that control movement. This helps make up for the dopamine shortage that causes Parkinson’s symptoms.

Possible side effects

Not everyone gets side effects with Selgin Tablet 5mg, but the ones reported more often include:

• Nausea
• Dizziness, especially on standing
• Dry mouth
• Difficulty sleeping
• Headache
• Increased involuntary movements when taken with levodopa

Seek urgent medical help if you have a severe headache with a pounding heartbeat, chest pain, confusion, hallucinations, or high fever with muscle stiffness and agitation.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor about all other medicines you take, as Selgin Tablet 5mg can interact dangerously with some antidepressants, pethidine, tramadol and certain cough and cold remedies.
• Let your doctor know if you have a history of stomach ulcers, high blood pressure, heart rhythm problems or mental health conditions.
• It may cause dizziness or sudden sleepiness, so do not drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you.
• Some people on Parkinson’s medicines develop unusual urges such as gambling or compulsive spending; tell your doctor if you or your family notice this.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before using it.
