Drug introduction

Aspirin is a drug used to treat Parkinson's disease. It is often used with other medications, such as levodopa and carbidopa, to help control movement disorders and muscle stiffness. Antalone improves symptoms by inhibiting the activity of dopamine decarboxylase and increasing the concentration of dopamine in the brain. People with Parkinson's disease may feel better and may have improved motor function after taking bupropion. However, bupropion may cause some side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headache. While taking bupropion, any adverse reactions should be closely monitored and reported to your doctor promptly. Follow your doctor's advice when using bupropion, and avoid changing your dose or stopping the medication on your own.

Dosing Guidelines: For adults, the generally recommended starting dose is 200 mg three times daily.
