Description
Common use
        Emsam is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, which used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. This is a case of the brain that affects motion. People with Parkinson's disease do not have enough nerve cells in the part of the brain that controls movement. These nerve cells produce a substance called dopamine. It is a lack of dopamine which causes problems with movement. Emsam  Tablets keep dopamine around longer, helping with difficulties in movement. Emsam has no anti-Parkinson effects of its own and must always be given in combination with levodopa/carbidopa.

Dosage and direction
        Take it orally every day after breakfast and lunch. Do not drink or eat anything for at least 5 minutes after taking an Emsam orally disintegrating tablet. The recommended dose for adults is 10 mg per day divided into 2 smaller doses of 5 mg. Note: this instruction presented here just for review. It's very necessary to consult with your doctor before using. It helps you to get the best results.

Precautions
        You must not eat foods that are high in tyramine, including pickled herring, air-dried meats, aged or fermented meats, poultry, sausage or salami, and any spoiled or improperly stored beef, fish, or liver; aged cheeses, including blue, brick, Bourgault, brie, cheddar, camembert, Emmenthaler, parmesan, romano, gruyere, Roquefort, stilton and swiss; beer from a tap, a beer that has not been pasteurized; over-the-counter supplements or cough and cold medicines that contain tyramine; sauerkraut, soybeans, soy sauce, tofu, miso soup, bean curd, fava beans; or yeast extracts. Eating tyramine while you are taking this drug can increase your blood pressure to dangerous levels which could cause life-threatening side effects. Emsam should be administered cautiously to patients with peptic or duodenal ulcer, labile hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, severe angina pectoris, severe liver or kidney dysfunction or psychosis. In higher doses (>30 mg daily) the attenuation of selegiline begins to decrease resulting in increased inhibition of MAO-A. Lightheadedness, dizziness, or fainting may intervene, especially when you get up from a lying or sitting position. So you may get up slowly, but if the problem continues or gets worse, consult your doctor. Emsam should not be used during pregnancy, becoming pregnant or lactating without doctor's advice. Do not use Emsam before breast-feeding without doctor's permission.
