About Jumax 5mg Tablet

Jumax 5mg Tablet belongs to a class of antiparkinson drugs called monoamine oxidase-B inhibitors used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease is a central nervous system disorder that affects movement. It causes stiffness, shaking, difficulty in walking, coordination and balance. In Parkinson’s patients, there is a decrease in dopamine (a chemical messenger that is important for movement control) levels as the nerve cells that produce dopamine begin to die.

Jumax 5mg Tablet contains Selegiline that works by inhibiting the action of an enzyme called monoamine oxidase-B that naturally breaks down dopamine. Thereby, increases the level of dopamine and restores its level in the brain thereby improving the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
