M J Berg, B Ebert, D K Willis, T Host, R W Fincham, D D Schottelius.   

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.
