What Are the Treatments for Drug Induced Parkinsonism? A third Parkinson's disease medication option for drug-induced parkinsonism patients, MAO B inhibitors prevent the breakdown of dopamine by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme monoamine oxidase B, or MAO B. Options of MAO B inhibitors include selegiline and rasagiline.

Parkinson Disease As the disease gets worse, symptoms such as stooped posture, frozen movements, and speech problems may not respond to the medicines. SURGERY. Surgery may be an option for some people. Surgery does not cure Parkinson disease, but it may help ease symptoms. Types of surgery include: 1  Deep brain stimulation. 2  This involves placing electric stimulators in areas of the brain that control movement. 3  Surgery to destroy brain tissue that causes Parkinson symptoms.

Management of Psychosis in Parkinson Disease Dopamine agonists are more likely to provoke hallucinations than is carbidopa/levodopa. Psychosis with hallucinations and delusions has been reported in as many as 20% of nondemented patients who receive medications for PD (Table 2).able 3: Initial management of psychosis in PD. The diagnosis of Parkinson disease (PD) is based on the observation of a constellation of motor abnormalities (bradykinesia, tremor at rest, cogwheel rigidity, postural instability) and the exclusion of other secondary causes of parkinsonism.

Tremor Treatment depends on the cause and type of tremor and may involve avoidance of triggers (physiologic), propranolol or primidone (essential), physical therapy (cerebellar), levodopa (parkinsonian), and possibly deep brain stimulation or thalamotomy (disabling and drug-refractory).

- Hospitalization can be risky for patients with Parkinson’s disease when viewed from the perspective of pharmacological management. Patients with Parkinson’s disease require strict adherence to an individualized, timed medication regimen of antiparkinsonian agents. Dosing intervals are specific to each individual patient because of the complexity of the disease.

Drug-Induced Parkinsonism Risk factors for drug-induced Parkinsonism include increasing age and the fact that older people may be especially sensitive to drug-induced Parkinsonism from antipsychotic drugs. Also, almost 100 percent of people with HIV infection will get drug-induced Parkinsonism if given antipsychotic drugs.
