I recently acquired the 5 mg tablets. I wonder how the drops compare as far as dosage? I just started yesterday with one tablet in the afternoon and could feel the mental clarity effects. I am still trying acquire information on the proper dosing.
I note that I take mine in the morning for antiaging and mental clarity.
1 drop = 1 mg
This is a cut and paste from International Antiaging for dosage and uses.
DEPRENYL LIQUID / SELEPRYL
Selepryl contains selegiline citrate and purified water.
Selegiline was first synthesized in Hungary in 1965. While studying its pharmaceutical effects, Dr. Joseph Knoll discovered the exceptional antidepressant properties of Selegiline. During the 808, he also became aware of its effectiveness in the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's disease. Since then, numerous studies have been made on Selegiline, demonstrating its therapeutic action on various diseases.
Now we know that the preventive use of this drug has positive effects on many other health areas, improving the quality of life (or general well being). For at least 15 years, numerous accounts of the benefits of Selegiline have been at hand on hundreds of medical reports, since its inception almost four decades ago!]-
Since 1991, Cyto Pharma DE Mexico S.A., a., company with 30 years of experience in the chemical and pharmaceutical field, has committed itself to the research of Selegiline. DE MEXICO, S.A. The result: Selepryl, Selegiline in citrate form, easily administrable in increment levels of I mg, highly pure and of almost immediate absorption.
Benefits of the preventive use of Selepryl:
Selepryl protects against age related deterioration in the substantia nigra, the part of the brain where dopamine is produced. This crucial neurotransmitter is responsible for the primary functions such as sexual behavior, fine motor control, immunological function and motivation.
It is effective in the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
To Dr. Knoll, the studies of humans with Parkinson's disease, as well as his studies on rats, all lead to one conclusion: "We now have a safe, selectively acting drug, that for the first time can slow down the most rapidly aging neuronal machinery in our brain".
The unique antioxidant properties of Selepryl protect brain cells from deteriorating over time.
The latest study on rats by the University of Toronto revealed that Selegiline may delay the aging of other organs, in addition to the brain, and has a protective effect on kidney function.
Selepryl counteracts the depressive emotional conditions that are frequent in patients suffering from degenerative diseases, such as cancer, chronic fatigue, diabetes, lupus erythematosus, arthritis, etc.
Other tests have demonstrated that Selepryl dramatically increases the motor ability, awareness, activity and the general well being of elder people. It may also be effective in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
When Dr. Knoll's research was later duplicated by scientists at the University of Toronto, further evidence was provided that Selegiline can increase the average life span.
Selepryl has no side effects in daily doses of 10 mg or less.
Conclusion:
Recent studies in both animals and humans have demonstrated that Selegiline has a variety of beneficial results against the deterioration of the brain due to aging, without toxic side effects. There is now evidence of the effectiveness of this drug as an antidepressant, of its benefits as an adjuvant in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, its encouraging results for Alzheimer's disease, and in anti aging therapy.
