The main uses for selegiline are the treatment of fears and phobias, and cognitive decline where reduced dopamine levels are implicated [of the type that resembles dementia of the Alzheimer’s type, DAT]. Selegiline should be administered for a minimum of 4-8 weeks before evaluating efficacy. If there is not a considerable improvement after this time an increased dose may be necessary or re-evaluation of cause of the behavioural problem. Before treatment with selegiline other causes of abnormal behaviour should be ruled out.
