Zelapar (selegiline) prevents the breakdown of a chemical in your brain called dopamine. Low levels of dopamine are associated with Parkinson's disease.

Zelapar is used along with carbidopa and levodopa to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It works by helping levodopa to work against Parkinson disease for a longer period of time.

Zelapar may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
