Abstract
- The purpose of this two-part review is to explain current drug treatment in part I and discuss investigational drug therapy and miscellaneous drugs in the management of parkinsonism in part II. The medical approach to this disease is still based on the imbalance between a deficiency of dopamine and a functional increase in acetylcholine. Anticholinergic agents are used to treat the tremors in the early stages of the disease.
