General Information On Zelapar ODT

Zelapar ODT is indicated in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. It is used along with other medicines such as Carbidopa/Levodopa.

Selegiline Hydrochloride, the main active ingredient in the medication, is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). It helps Levodopa work for longer periods in Parkinson disease treatment, which slows the progression of the disease.

Zelapar ODT is available in the form of a tablet (orally disintegrating). Each Zelapar ODT tablet contains 1.25mg Selegiline Hydrochloride. The tablets are not intended to be swallowed. The drug is a prescription medication, which means you should consult your doctor before you buy Zelapar ODT online.

You should not buy Zelapar ODT and use it if you are hypersensitive to any ingredient in it. The medication contains many inactive ingredients that may cause side effects if you are allergic to any of them.

People with medical problems such as kidney or liver problems, phenylketonuria, uncontrolled muscle movements, and mental and mood problems should talk to their doctor about the risks associated with use of the drug in such medical conditions.

Zelapar ODT may cause mild to severe side effects in some people. Less serious side effects associated with the use of Zelapar ODT are: dry mouth, upset stomach, headache, irritation or pain in the mouth, drowsiness, constipation, stuffy/runny nose, vomiting, dizziness, mild sores, or nausea. If any of these side effects become bothersome or persist, consult your doctor.

You may also experience allergic reactions after taking a dose of Zelapar ODT. Seek medical attention immediately if you notice or experience severe dizziness, swelling of the throat/tongue/face, skin rashes, or trouble breathing.

Your doctor will give you specific instructions regarding the dosage. You will be required to take Zelapar ODT once daily before breakfast. Do not take the tablet with water or any liquid.

Do not swallow the tablet whole or chew it. Place the tablet on your tongue and let it dissolve completely on the tongue. You should not drink or eat anything for at least 5 minutes after taking the medication.
