What is the trade name for selegiline?

Selegiline is sold under several brand names depending on the country and the formulation (tablet vs. transdermal patch). Common trade names include:

- Eldepryl (selegiline tablets) [1]
- Zelapar (selegiline oral disintegrating tablets) [2]
- Emsam (selegiline transdermal system/patch) [3]

How to tell which selegiline brand you have

Brand names usually map to the dosage form:
- Tablet brands (e.g., Eldepryl, depending on country) [1]
- Orally dissolving tablet (e.g., Zelapar) [2]
- Patch (e.g., Emsam) [3]

If you share the exact spelling on your package (and your country), I can help match it to the formulation.

Is selegiline the same drug as rasagiline or other MAO-B inhibitors?

No. Selegiline is an MAO-B inhibitor, but rasagiline is a different drug with its own brand names (for example, Azilect in many markets). The trade name depends on the active ingredient, not just the drug class. [4]
