Jumax 5 mg Tablet

Jumax 5 mg Tablet contains 5 mg of selegiline in each tablet. It is an anti-Parkinsonian medicine used to help manage symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, usually as part of a broader treatment plan. Selegiline belongs to the monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) class, which helps increase dopamine activity in the brain. Jumax 5 mg Tablet is made by Torrent Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and is supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Selegiline in Jumax 5 mg Tablet blocks monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B), an enzyme that breaks down dopamine in the brain. By slowing dopamine breakdown, this tablet helps improve movement-related symptoms such as stiffness and slowness in Parkinson’s disease.

Jumax 5 mg Tablet is the 5 mg tablet strength, which is a higher-strength selegiline tablet intended for patients whose doctor has decided this dose is appropriate. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this product represents the full tablet strength available here, and a prescriber will choose how it fits into your Parkinson’s treatment plan. It may be selected when a doctor wants a tablet that can be taken at a specific scheduled dose rather than a lower starting amount.
