- Title
Pharmacological Insights into Levodopa-induced Motor Fluctuations in Patients with Parkinson's Disease.
- Authors
Rascol, Olivier
- Abstract
The author discusses levodopa-induced motor fluctuations in patients with Parkinson's disease. He states that developing novel, orally active, extended-release formulations of levodopa that maximize its absorption is a priority. Details are offered on the two pilot trials on initiatives that allow the delivery of the drug to brain in a more appropriate manner without restoring to complex, expensive and aggressive devices.
