After reading three or four different answers to your question, please
allow one more which is slightly different.&nbsp; Selegiline (Eldepryl,
Deprenyl) is a <i>selective </i>mono amine oxidase inhibitor (MOAI), and
as long as the dosage is in the vicinity of 5 or 10 milligrams daily, it
will be a type B inhibitor only.&nbsp; Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride will
react with a type A inhibitor only.&nbsp; So as long as you limit your
selegiline input to the recommended 10 mg./day, the pseudoephedrine
should not be a problem.&nbsp; <br>
<br>
Should not does not necessarily mean will not.<br>
<br>
However, I strongly urge you to discuss this with your pharmacist
first.&nbsp; If (s)he advises you not to take these drugs together, I
would certainly follow his(her) instructions.&nbsp; But if (s)he does not
know the difference between type A and type B MOAI's, perhaps you have
the wrong pharmacist.<br>
