Levodopa Crosses the blood-brain barrier and is converted to dopamine in basal ganglia and periphery. T max is 0. To 2 h and may be delayed in presence of food. Contraindications Narrow-angle glaucoma; concomitant MAOI therapy; history of or suspected melanoma.

neurodegenerative disorders. • Parkinsonism, defined as a paucityand slowness of movement (bradykinesia), tremor at rest, rigidity, shuffling gait, and flexed posture. • result from a reduction of dopaminergic transmission within the basal ganglia. • Its peak age of onset is in the 60s. • Familial clusters of autosomal dominant and recessive forms of PD comprise 5% of cases. • Characterized by an earlier age of onset. • Three cardinal signs— rest tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia. • Micrographia • Hypophonia • bulbar bradykinesia. • Dystonia • Gait disturbance. • Non-Motor Features-depression and anxiety, cognitive impairment, sleep disturbances, sensory abnormalities and pain, anosmia and disturbances of autonomic function. • Neuropsychiatric Symptoms-Changes in mood, cognition, and behavior in later stages of PD. Levodopa • Crosses the blood-brain barrier and is converted to dopamine in basal ganglia and periphery. • Absorbed from the small bowel. • T max is 0.5 to 2 h and may be delayed in presence of food. • Rate of absorption is dependent upon rate of gastric emptying, pH of gastric juice, and length of time drug is exposed. • Plasma t ½ is 1 to 3 h. • Initial buffering and prolonged postsynaptic effect. Indications and Usage • Treatment of idiopathic, postencephalitic, and symptomatic parkinsonism. Unlabeled Uses • Relief of herpes zoster (shingles) pain and restless leg syndrome. • Contraindications Narrow-angle glaucoma; concomitant MAOI therapy (excluding MAOI-type B agents) ; history of or suspected melanoma. Adverse Reactions • Cardiovascular-Cardiac irregularity, palpitation; orthostatic hypotension; hypertension. • CNS-Ataxia; headache; dizziness; numbness; weakness; faintness; confusion; insomnia; nightmares, psychosis, choreiform or dystonic movements. Induction of hallucinations and confusion. • Dermatologic-Flushing; skin rash; sweating. • EENT-Blepharospasm; diplopia; blurred vision; dilated pupils; impaired taste perception. • GI-Anorexia; nausea; vomiting; abdominal pain; distress; dry mouth. • Genitourinary-Urine retention; urinary incontinence; priapism. • Hematologic-Hemolytic anemia; anemia; agranulocytosis; leukopenia. • Hepatic-Elevated AST, ALT, LDH. • Respiratory-Bizarre breathing patterns. • activation of malignant melanoma. • Miscellaneous-hot flashes; weight gain or loss; dark sweat or urine. • Management of drug-related motor fluctuations in Parkinson's disease. Bromocriptine • dopamine receptor agonist • directly stimulating the dopamine receptors in the corpus striatum. • may permit a reduction of the maintenance dose of levodopa. • Patients unresponsive to levodopa are poor candidates for Bromocriptine mesylate therapy. • administered alone or concomitantly with levodopa may cause hallucinations. Contraindications • Uncontrolled hypertension. • pregnancy ADRs • nausea, abnormal involuntary movements, hallucinations, confusion, "on-off“ phenomenon, dizziness, drowsiness, faintness/fainting, vomiting, asthenia, abdominal discomfort • visual disturbance, ataxia, insomnia, depression, • hypotension, shortness of breath, constipation, and vertigo. • blepharospasm, dry mouth, dysphagia, edema of the feet and ankles, erythromelalgia. • epileptiform seizure, fatigue, headache, lethargy, mottling of skin, nasal stuffiness,nervousness, nightmares, paresthesia, skin rash, urinary frequency. • Exacerbation of Raynaud's Syndrome. • elevations in blood urea nitrogen, SGOT, SGPT, GGPT, CPK, alkaline phosphatase and uric acid. Pergolide • ergot derivative dopamine receptor agonist at both D and D receptor sites. • 10 to 1000 times more potent than bromocriptine. • inhibits the secretion of prolactin in humans; it causes a transient rise in serum concentrations of growth hormone and a decrease in serum concentrations of luteinizing hormone. • Pergolide sulfoxide and pergolide sulfone are dopamine agonists. ADRs • Cardiac Valvulopathy and Fibrotic Complications. • Falling Asleep During Activities of Daily Living. • Symptomatic Hypotension. • Hallucinosis. • APCs and sinus tachycardia. • neuroleptic malignant syndrome-with rapid dose reduction, withdrawal. • Dyskinesia. • Peripheral edema, Anemia, Dry mouth Pramipexole • Nonergot dopamine receptor agonist. • Bioavailability is more than 90%.
