Levodopa combined with carbidopa (Sinemet) is the treatment of choice for Parkinson's disease (Medical Letter, 30:113, 1988). After prolonged treatment, however, the symptoms of the disease often become difficult to manage. The benefit from each dose becomes shorter (the 'wearing-off' effect), sudden fluctuations occur between mobility and immobility (the 'on-off' phenomenon), and abnormal involuntary movements (dyskinesias) may become frequent. The dopamine agonist bromocriptine (Parlodel) can ameliorate some of these effects. Two new drugs, pergolide (Permax - Lilly), another dopamine...

The FDA has reported that 5106 elderly patients with dementia treated with atypical (second generation) antipsychotics in 17 randomized controlled trials had a higher mortality rate (4.5% vs. 2.6%) than those receiving placebo.

The drugs used in the trials were aripiprazole (Abilify), olanzapine (Zyprexa), quetiapine (Seroquel), and risperidone (Risperdal). As the increase in mortality was considered a class effect, the FDA advisory also included ziprasidone (Geodon), clozapine (Clozaril) and the...

An oral nonopioid analgesic is often sufficient for acute treatment of mild to moderate migraine pain without severe nausea or vomiting. A triptan is the drug of choice for treatment of moderate to severe migraine in most patients without vascular disease. Treatment of pain when it is still mild to moderate in intensity improves headache response and reduces the risk of recurrence.
