(Quote from paper)
Considering the essential difference between the pharmacological spectrum of selegiline and rasagiline,5 the results of the present study demonstrated that the group treated with selegiline as initial MAO-BI stayed without DA for a longer period compared with the rasagiline group; the hazard to initiate DA was twice as high in the rasagiline group compared with the selegiline group. This finding applied to the 4 age categories, although with some difference in HR values.
(I’m not sure how to interpret this paper.) I recently posted about substantial evidence of Selegiline being Neuroprotective whereas Azilect is less likely to be.
(Quote)Another possible explanation for the longer period until DA implementation in the selegiline-treated group is its better symptomatic effect that could delay the need for dopaminergic treatment

Reposting the Selegiline summary so no one has to look for it.

Rasagiline showed no Neuroprotective effect in this trial regarding eyes. (Not pd)
So, which appears to have a higher possibility of being Neuroprotective, Rasagiline / Azilect or Selegiline? Tough decision.
