Deprenyl Dosage

Dear Dr. Dean:I have purchased some liquid deprenyl and seem to be having trouble finding out exactly how much I should take for anti-aging purposes. I am a very healthy 47-year-old female, currently on an anti-aging program. (i.e., HGH, DHEA, etc.) Can you instruct me as to dosages? Thanks in advance.Ms. P

Dear Ms. P, The dosage is highly individualized. For Parkinson’s disease, for example, dosages are usually 5-10 mg in the morning, often followed by another 5 mg at lunch. For anti-aging purposes, the dosages are much less. For someone of your age, I usually recommend about 2 mg per day.Ward Dean, M.D.
