> "The main therapeutic advantage of rasagiline over the other selective irreversible monoamine oxidase-B inhibitor selegiline (l-deprenyl, Eldepryl) is that rasagiline does not have the perhaps toxic amphetamine metabolic breakdown products of the structurally similar selegiline. Subjectively, rasagiline feels "cleaner".

>But see, one of the main advantages of the transdermal delivery system is that you don't get the same amount of amphetamine metabolites, even if they were toxic which I have not read that they are. So this may be true if you are talking about oral selegiline but it is probably no 'cleaner' than EMSAM.
