Conclusions Patients should be advised to gradually decrease rather than suddenly stop antiparkinsonian medications when they must stop taking a medication and antiparkinsonian medications should be reintroduced as soon as possible after surgery. Full size image.
Discussion It has been reported repeatedly that acute withdrawal of antiparkinsonian drugs in PD patients is considered to be the sole cause of PHS. Conclusions In summary, patients should be advised to gradually reduce rather than suddenly stop antiparkinsonian medications when they must stop taking a medication due to significant side effects.

Talk to your specialist if you do not see any change after taking co-careldopa for 2 weeks. You will probably take co-careldopa for a long time. You can keep taking this medicine as long as it's controlling your symptoms and you're not having any serious side effects. Many people take co-careldopa safely for many months or years.
However, it does not work as well over time and you may notice the effects "wearing off". This is when the benefits wear off before the next dose, so there are times when you are stiff or slow. Speak to your doctor or specialist nurse if this happens. They may need to change your dose. If you take co-careldopa for several years, or at a high dose, you can get uncontrolled movements called dyskinesias.
These can include twitching, twisting or writhing movements. Speak to doctor or specialist nurse if this happens as you may need a lower dose. If you stop taking co-careldopa, your symptoms will return unless you are taking other medicines for Parkinson's disease.
You must not stop taking co-careldopa suddenly. This can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms such as stiff muscles, a high temperature and confusion. If you need to stop taking this medicine, your doctor or specialist nurse will reduce your dose gradually.
This will help prevent withdrawal symptoms. Co-careldopa gel brand name Duodopa is used to treat "advanced" Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is called advanced when symptoms are harder to treat and start to affect day-to-day life. If your specialist wants you to try co-careldopa gel, they will usually give it to you for a few days to see if it helps. They will put a tube down your nose so the gel can go into your stomach. If your symptoms improve, and you and your specialist agree to continue using the gel, you will need surgery.
A tube will be put in through the skin near your belly button and gently pushed through into your small intestine. Usually the tube is fitted using a permanent connector called a PEG or percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. You can have the gel as a single dose, given over 10 to 30 minutes called a "bolus" dose , followed by a continuous dose given gradually through the day "basal" dose. You will have a break of about 8 hours overnight.
Your doctor or specialist nurse will show you how to use the gel and how to keep your tube and PEG clean. You will have regular check-ups to see how it's working for you. Drinking alcohol while taking co-careldopa tablets can make you feel sleepy or tired. It's best to stop drinking alcohol when you start taking co-careldopa, until you know how the medicine affects you.
However, it is best to avoid taking co-careldopa at the same time as meals containing lots of protein such as meat, eggs, cheese, beans or lentils. This can reduce the amount of co-careldopa your body takes in, meaning that your medicine will not work properly.
Co-careldopa contains levodopa and carbidopa. These can be mixed with other Parkinson's medicines to treat your symptoms. Benserazide : this is mixed with levodopa to make co-beneldopa brand name Madopar.
This comes as capsules or soluble tablets and works in the same way as co-careldopa. Entacapone : this can be mixed with co-careldopa brand names Stalevo, Sastravi or Stanek. This combination can help if the effects of co-careldopa are "wearing off" and it's no longer working for you on its own. Co-careldopa does not stop contraceptive pills working, including the combined pill and emergency contraception.
But if co-careldopa makes you vomit, your contraceptive pills may not protect you from pregnancy. Look on the pill packet to find out what to do. Read more about what to do if you're taking the pill and you're being sick or have diarrhoea. There's no firm evidence to suggest that taking co-careldopa will reduce fertility in either men or women. However, speak to a pharmacist or your doctor before taking it if you're trying to get pregnant. Some people find that co-careldopa makes them sleepy or makes them fall asleep suddenly.
If this happens to you, do not drive, cycle or operate machinery. Speak to your doctor; they will tell you when you can start driving again once these side effects stop.
If you've been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, you must tell the DVLA and your car insurance company promptly. There's currently no cure, but there are treatments for Parkinson's disease to help relieve the symptoms and maintain your quality of life.
You may not need any treatment during the early stages of Parkinson's disease, as symptoms are usually mild. UCLA Health.
