Is Selegiline the Same as Generic Zelapar?

No -- selegiline hydrochloride is the active ingredient in Zelapar (as well as a few other medications), but is not a generic version of it. What can be confusing is that, oftentimes, the active ingredient of a drug is referred to as the "generic name." The generic name is different from a generic version of a medicine. In order for there to be a generic version of a medicine, the original medicine must have gone off-patent and another company besides the original manufacturer must make the product.
