=Therapeutic Effectiveness
Less effective than levodopa or bromocryptine
Therapeutic benefits are short-lived.
Adverse Effects of Amantadine
Primarily CNS = restlessness, depression,
irritability, insomnia, agitation, excitement,
hallucinations, confusion.
Overdoses = acute toxic psychosis.
Others = headache, edema, postural
2. Reduction of cholinergic activity
by antimuscarinic drugs; this approach is ;
most effective against tremor and rigidity,and
less effective in the treatment of
bradykinesia.
BROMOCRIPTINE
a derivative of ergot (Ergot de savle, Secale cornutum).
It is a D2-receptor agonist, but also a weak alpha-
adrenoceptor anatagonist.
It should be started at very low doses (11,25 mg p.o. at
night), increasing at weekly interval and according to
clinical response.
It is also used for treatment of prolactin-secreting
adenomas, amenorrhea/galactorrhea to
hyperprolactinemia,
to stop lactation, acromegaly.
ADRs of BROMOCRIPTINE
Nausea and vomiting, which may be
prevented withdomperidone;
postural hypotension (may cause dizziness or
syncope);
after prolonged use
pleural effusion and
-retroperitoneal fibrosis.
Parkinsons disease
2nd most common
neurodegenerative disease.
Mean onset = 57 years of age.
Affects 1-2% of population over 60
years of age.
Etiology is unknown.
Disease progression is highly
variable.
Can be early onset in some cases.
Objectives of antiparkinsonian
pharmacotherapy is balancing
the dopaminergic/cholinergic system
