METHOD FOR ADMINISTERING THE DRUG DEPRENYL SO AS TO MINIMIZE THE DANGER OF SIDE EFFECTS

摘要

The monoamine oxidase inhibitor drug L-deprenyl (phenylisopropyl methyl propynyl amine) may be safely and conveniently used for the treatment of mental depression, Parkinson's or Alzheimer's Disease in a formulation applied to the skin of the patient. In this way the danger of side reaction due to the consumption of foods containing tyramine (the cheese effect) is minimised. Unlike other monoamine oxidase drugs, L-deprenyl does not cause skin irritation when used in this way.
