Tablet/Capsule Selegiline (traditional formulation) Lower Dose and Less Frequent Dosing Tmax=1 hour. Digested in the gut, adsorbed through the small intestine, processed by the liver. Zelapar formulated with Zydis fast-dissolve (innovative formulation) 1.25-mg or 2.5-mg doses, taken once a day (QD). Tablet that dissolves in mouth within seconds, without water. Tmax=15 minutes. Innovative transmucosal drug delivery adsorbed rapidly through the lining of the mouth directly into the blood. Significantly by-passes the liver, producing lower undesired metabolites.
