Parkinson's Disease Medicines

Parkinson's disease medicines are used to manage and alleviate the symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disorder affecting movement. These medications primarily aim to improve mobility, control tremors, and address rigidity by enhancing or mimicking the action of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is deficient in people with the condition. Common classes of Parkinson's medications include levodopa (often combined with carbidopa), dopamine agonists, MAO-B inhibitors, and anticholinergics.
