Ritalin may improve Parkinson's symptoms, OHSU study says
Ritalin may improve Parkinson's symptoms, OHSU study says
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releas...-rmi050604.php But active ingredient in antidepressant Paxil has no effect on physical symptoms PORTLAND, Ore. - A well-known drug used to treat hyperactive children boosts the potency of another drug that reduces Parkinson's disease symptoms, an Oregon Health & Science University study has found. Scientists at the OHSU Parkinson Center of Oregon found that methylphenidate, known commercially as Ritalin, bolsters the effects of levodopa, a drug converted in the brain to dopamine. Methylphenidate inhibits the reabsorption of dopamine into nerve cells, increasing the neurotransmitter's potency. |
