Global Patient Feedback for Eldepryl (Selegiline)
Please see our forum guidelines.
Zelpar worked well for me over the last couple of years as part of my Parkinson's arsenal. Recently made the switch to Selegeline based upon no coverage by my health insurance for Zelapar. Advised there was no difference between Zelapar and Selegeline. Zelpar was easy to take via 2 tablets that would dissolve under the tongue every am. With Selegeline, I now take1 tablet two times a day.
