About this active substance
Piribedil is a medication used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions associated with dopamine deficiency.
It is a dopamine receptor agonist that helps improve motor control and reduce symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia.
Piribedil is often used as monotherapy in the early stages of Parkinson's disease or in combination with levodopa in advanced stages.
It may also be used to treat peripheral circulatory disorders and certain eye conditions, such as retinopathy.
Common side effects include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and orthostatic hypotension.
In rare cases, hallucinations or compulsive behaviors, such as excessive gambling or compulsive eating, may occur.
It is important for patients to strictly follow their doctor's recommendations and report any unusual side effects.
Piribedil should be used with caution in patients with a history of psychotic disorders or cardiovascular diseases.
