What is Emsam ?
Emsam (selegiline transdermal system) is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) used primarily for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adults. It is administered via a transdermal patch which allows selegiline to be absorbed through the skin, thus bypassing the gastrointestinal system and potentially reducing dietary restrictions typically associated with other MAOIs. Emsam offers a unique delivery method, providing a steady absorption of medication intended to help manage symptoms of depression.
