Overview
Medical Therapy
The mainstay of therapy for motor symptoms of Parkinson disease are:
- Levodopa: This drug is the most effective in controlling motor symptoms in PD patients.[1][2] If we use levodopa alone, it will convert to dopamine in the peripheral circulation, so we combine it with a decarboxylase inhibitor like carbidopa to prevent this. The ratio of carbidopa_levodopa in tablets are 10/100, 25/100 or 25/250.[3][4] The adverse effects of this drug includes elevated serum homocysteine, low levels of vitamin B12, elevated methylmalonic acid and sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy.[5][6][7][8] It can also cause motor fluctuations, dyskinesia, cramps and dystonia.[9][10] One of the concerns regarding long term use of levodopa is that it may be increase the rate of dopamine neurons degeneration[11] but other studies demonstrated that it does not damage neurons.[12][13]
- Dopamine agonists: Dopamine agonist such as bromocriptine, pramipexole and ropinirole are proved to be effective in managing motor symptoms of PD patients.[14] At first, the use of dopamine agonist were limited t the condition where there is reduced levodopa response or when we had disturbing levodopa complications[15][16] but since dopamine agonists have fewer side effects, some experts suggest using these drugs as the first line therapy especially for PD patients under 60 years old.[17] The adverse effects of dopamine agonist are nausea, vomiting, sleep disorders, confusion, peripheral edema and valvular heart disease.[18][19]
- Monoamine oxidase (MAO) B inhibitors:
- Anticholinergic agents:
- Amantadine:
- Catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) inhibitors:
- Estrogen:
- Other agents:
Treatment choices for some of the nonmotor symptoms of PD are:
- Psychosis:
- Dementia:
- Daytime sleepiness:
- Fatigue:
- Depression:
- Constipation:
- Sialorrhea:
- Rhinorrhea:
- Sexual dysfunction:
- Ortostatic hypotention:
