Medicine |
The patients are given domperidone 30 mg/day for 3 days. When a patient is already on any anti-parkinson drugs, these drugs were withdrawn from the night before of the evaluation day. On the fourth day lactose powder is given to the patients and levodopa (250 mg)/carbidopa (25 mg) is given on the fifth day in a double-blind manner. On fourth and fifth day, motor symptoms of the patients are examined using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale motor scores by a clinician who is blind to the test drug.
