What is the brand name of the Selegiline patch?

Selegiline is a medication used primarily in the treatment of major depressive disorder and Parkinson’s disease. The transdermal patch formulation of selegiline is marketed under the brand name Emsam. This patch allows the medication to be delivered through the skin, providing a continuous release of the drug that can enhance its therapeutic effects and reduce the risk of certain side effects associated with oral formulations.

The other brand names listed refer to different monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) used for depression. Nardil and Parnate are both older MAOIs that are taken orally and have different dosing and dietary restrictions. Marplan is another oral MAOI, with its own unique profile. Emsam, as a selegiline patch, represents a significant advancement in the delivery method for this particular medication, distinguishing it from others in its class.
