Understanding Parkinson`s Medications
... In general, this class of medications is not as effective in relieving symptoms of Parkinson’s as carbidopa/ levodopa. The exception is apomorphine, an injectable dopamine agonist that works rapidly, lasts only 30 minutes or so, and may provoke dyskinesias. Doctors often prescribe agonists as an ini ...
