About Selgin Tablet
Selgin 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.
Selgin 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.
Take Selgin Tablet with or without food as advised by your doctor and swallow whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew or break it. Your doctor will advise you how often you take Selgin Tablet based on your medical condition.

Selgin Tablet is not recommended for children. If you are about to undergo any surgery, please inform your doctor that you are taking Selgin Tablet as it may interact with certain medicines used as a part of general anaesthesia.

Medicinal Benefits
Selgin Tablet is an antiparkinson agent that is used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. In Parkinson’s patients, the nerve cells that produce dopamine (a chemical messenger that is important for movement control) begin to die. So, there is a decrease in dopamine levels. Selgin Tablet works by inhibiting the action of the monoamine oxidase-B enzyme that naturally breaks down dopamine. Thereby, increases dopamine in the brain and restores its levels. Thus, it improves the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Selgin Tablet can be used alone or in combination with other medicines such as levodopa to reduce uncontrolled movements.
