People who get Parkinson’s will most likely need medication for the rest of their lives. Continuous medication is one of the cornerstones of treatment. Today, the symptoms of the disease can be very effectively relieved.
Through medication, the dopamine deficiency in the brain is controlled. In the early stages of the disease, a single drug or a combination of different drugs can be used. Medical treatment is started in low doses and increased gradually. Furthermore, medication is always individual and can vary greatly between people. After some time, the medication can also cause side effects. Therefore, medical treatment of people with Parkinson’s requires follow-up by a physician with a good knowledge of the condition.
