Emsam

Emsam is a brand name for the medication selegiline, which is used to treat depression. It belongs to a class of drugs known as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Emsam is a transdermal patch that is applied to the skin, delivering selegiline directly into the bloodstream. It is typically prescribed for people who have not responded well to other antidepressant medications. Emsam is sometimes prescribed off-label for other conditions as well. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully when using Emsam, as it can interact with certain foods and medications, potentially leading to dangerous side effects.
