What is Emsam?

Emsam is an FDA-approved prescription antidepressant medication used to treat patients with major depressive disorder. The active ingredient in this medication is selegiline. It works by restoring the balance of natural substances in the brain which helps to improve your mood and feelings of well-being.

Emsam comes in the form of a transdermal patch that is meant for use on the skin only. It can be applied to the upper torso, upper thigh, or the outer surface of the upper arm. Follow your medication guide closely when using this medication. Clean and dry the area of skin that you intend to apply this patch. One patch should be applied daily (after removing the previous patch) and should be used in a different area of the body to avoid irritation. Do not wear more than one of these patches at a time.

Your doctor may start you off with a low dose and gradually increase it over time. This helps to reduce the risk of side effects. Once your condition begins to improve, your doctor will reassess your treatment and may work with you to reduce your dose. Follow your doctor's instructions closely when using these patches. Before using Emsam, tell your doctor about your medical conditions and history, and all of the medications you take, including prescription and OTC drugs, vitamins, and supplements. Avoid alcohol when using Emsam. Do not drive until you know how this medication affects you.

What are the side effects of Emsam?

Common side effects resulting from the use of Emsam may include application site reaction, headache, trouble sleeping, diarrhea, dry mouth, indigestion, rash, and weight changes. A common side effect is orthostatic hypotension, which is when blood pressure drops when standing up from a sitting or lying down position, causing dizziness. If this occurs, stand up slowly while holding on to something stable for support.

This drug, in some rare cases, may cause an attack of extremely high blood pressure. Many food (such as foods rich in tyramine) and drug interactions can increase the risk of this happening. Stop using this drug and seek emergency medical assistance if you experience sudden and severe headaches, fast heartbeats, confusion, sweating, vomiting, neck stiffness, or pounding in the neck or ears.

This is not a complete list of side effects. Consult your doctor or healthcare professional for additional information and medical advice regarding other possible side effects or drug interactions. You can report negative side effects to the FDA.
