Combination of selegiline and controlled release levodopa in the treatment of fluctuations of clinical disability in parkinsonian patients

Abstract: Thirteen parkinsonians with a long duration of the disease and longterm dopa therapy, seven of them showing severe on-off oscillations and 6 an "endof-dose impairment", were treated with a controlled release (HBS) preparation of L DOPA/benserazide for more than 3 years.Thereafter, selegiline was added in a progressively increasing dosage up to a maximum of 10 mg/day during 4 months, with the aim of a) further improving the longterm results and b) reducing the doses of the new formula of LDOPA.A significant dec… Show more

“…Two observational studies analyzed pre-administration and post-administration WRS score change with selegiline. Chouza et al ( 1989 ) showed a mild decrease but no significant change in WRS score after 4 months of selegiline treatment, while Ruggieri et al ( 1986 ) demonstrated significant decrease within 45 days.…”

“…The usefulness of L-deprenyl for suppressing the progression of this disease has already been demonstrated. It has been reported that the L-dopa (levodopa) treatment combined with L-deprenyl has reduced the side effects and prolonged parkinsonian life span as compared to treatment with levodopa alone (9). A potent and reversible MAO-B inhibitor would provide a safe adjuvant that is devoid of the hazards of unwanted side effects.…”
