Eldepryl Indications

Eldepryl is an oral prescription drug used to manage movement disorders caused by Parkinson’s disease. It helps improve shakiness, muscle stiffness, and loss of normal movement. This is usually prescribed as an adjunct to levodopa/carbidopa for patients who do not respond adequately to levodopa/carbidopa alone.

Eldepryl Dosage Forms

This is available in Eldepryl 5 mg and 10 mg tablets.

Eldepryl Mechanism of Action

This enzyme blocker generally works by reducing the breakdown of dopamine which can lead to an increase in the levels of some substances or neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. It is believed that the increased level of these neurotransmitters is likely to mediate the beneficial effects of this medication.
