Hello...
Zelapar's been available in England for quite a while. Where else is it available? Looks like it may be used in Italy and Portugal. Am I right in thinking it's not on the market in the US? Does anyone know why?
Apparantly the manufacturer of Zelapar, Medeus, has just changed its name to Zeneus Pharma.
www.zeneuspharma.com
From the British National Formulary....
Zelapar® (Medeus)
Oral lyophilisates (= freeze-dried tablets), yellow, selegiline hydrochloride 1.25 mg, net price 30-tab pack = £59.95. Counselling, administration
Dose: initially 1.25 mg daily before breakfast
COUNSELLING.
Tablets should be placed on the tongue and allowed to dissolve. Advise patient not to drink, rinse, or wash mouth out for 5 minutes after taking the tablet
Excipients: include aspartame (section 9.4.1)
Note.
Patients receiving 10 mg conventional selegiline hydrochloride tablets can be switched to Zelapar® 1.25 mg
