How Does Selegiline HCl Work?

By maintaining these chemical levels in the brain, it mitigates symptoms of cognitive and behavioral disorders in pets.

Are There Side Effects of Selegiline HCl?

Pets may experience:

• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
• Restlessness or hyperactivity.
• Loss of appetite.
• Mild confusion or dizziness.

If severe symptoms or allergic reactions occur, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian immediately.

What Precautions Should You Take?

• Not recommended for pets with severe kidney, liver, or heart conditions.
• Avoid combining with other MAOIs, SSRIs, or tricyclic antidepressants due to the risk of serotonin syndrome.
• Inform your veterinarian if your pet is pregnant, nursing, or taking other medications.
