50
Q

What is amantadine?

A
  • Not to reduce tremor, more for dyskinesia (involuntary movements) different than dystonia (dyskinesia is flowing type of movement) when it reaches peak dose, can generate random movements. Giving drug, it’s going overboard lots of random movements. Give alongside L-DOPA.
51
Q

What are COMT inhibitors?

A

L-dopa: precursor. Want to convert into dopamine. Every reaction governed by enzyme AADC, primary step is to convert. However, can get converted to 3-0 methyl… Enzyme that takes L-dopa is comp
- If you want to keep L-dopa circulating in blood and want to make more dopamine, want to inhibit COMP (use comp inhibitors)
- Maintaining half-life of L-dopa
- Metabolism step, inhibit to keep it circulating for longer. Larger exercising window
