Lynn Berg. > Lynn Ann: In recent months the exclusive patent went off of Eldepryl and DuPont Pharma began marketing a tablet called CARBEX (Selegiline HC) which they claim is therapeutically identical to Eldepryl (which is now in capsule form). Like Eldepryl the manufacturer of CARBEX recommends 10 mg per day in 5mg doses at breakfast and lunch. There is no additional benefit to more than a total of 10mg per day -- in fact more thaaan 10 mg a day may cause serious side effects. -------------------- Sid Roberts 67/dx3 [log in to unmask] Youngstown, Ohio
