Eliminate Migraine Sideeffects And Misery (EMSAM)
That's my mnemonic phrase to help me remember the name of a new MAOI delivery system called EMSAM. It is a transdermal Selegiline (l-deprenyl) patch. When taken in smaller doses, this drug is specific to the brain MAO rather than the digestive MAO. When taken in larger doses (and the MAOI diet is then recommended), it probably is still safer due to the fact that it is delivered via the skin rather than the digestive system. By this method, the digestive system is not exposed to the high concentrations of the drug that occur with oral administration.
