Abstract
Parkinsonian patients with orthostatic hypotension and dizziness due to usual antiparkinson therapy have been treated with the precursor amino-acid of noradrenaline, DL-3,4-threo-dihydroxyphenylserine (DL-3,4-threo-DOPS). Oral and intravenous administration improved these side effects significantly. A combined treatment of L-dopa, peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor and DL-3,4-threo-DOPS seems to be of benefit with respect to akinesia and orthostatic hypotension.Entities:
