levodopa/ carbidopa
anti Parkinson drugs
this specific drug enters the brain from plasma and is taken up by DAergic neurons
levo dopa
Selegiline
MAOIs anti Parkinson drugs
ropinirole
DA agonist anti Parkinson drugs
these drugs block cholinergic receptors
Antimuscarinic agents
Benztropine
Antimuscarinic agents anti Parkinson drugs
these drugs inhibit MAO ( MAO metabolizes DA)
MAOIs
rotigotine
DA agonists anti Parkinson drugs
these drugs stop the enzyme that interfere with levo dopa uptake
COMT inhibitors ie. entacapone
this drug is taken up by peripheral noradrenergic neurons ; prevents L Dopa from being processed by those neurons/ prevents metabolism of LDOPA
carbidopa
biperiden
Antimuscarinic agents anti Parkinson drugs
entacapone
COMT inhibitor anti Parkinson drugs
pramipexole
Da agonists anti Parkinson drugs
apomorphine
DA agonists anti Parkinson drugs
amantadine
dopamine agonists anti Parkinson drugs
