पार्किंसन रोग के लिए पेरगोलाइड

About pergolide

Pergolide is used to treat पार्किंसन रोग although other treatments are often preferred to it because it is associated with a small risk of fibrotic reactions, as a side-effect of the treatment. Fibrotic reactions can lead to breathing difficulties, a persistent cough, chest pain, and tummy (abdominal) pain or tenderness (see the side-effects table below).

Parkinson's disease affects the way your brain co-ordinates the movements of your muscles. A number of cells in a small part of your brain called the substantia nigra become damaged and die. These brain cells pass messages down nerves in the spinal cord by producing a chemical called dopamine, and it is these messages which control the muscles of the body. As the cells in the brain are damaged, the amount of dopamine that is produced is reduced. A combination of the reduction of cells and a low level of dopamine in the cells in this part of the brain, causes nerve messages to the muscles to become slowed and abnormal. This produces the main symptoms of Parkinson's disease, which are stiffness, shaking (tremor), and slowness of movement.

Pergolide is a dopamine-receptor agonist which means that it acts on the same receptors in your brain as dopamine. In effect, it acts like a substitute for dopamine and this helps to ease your symptoms. It may be used alone, or in combination with other medicines to treat Parkinson's disease.

• If you are taking pergolide for the first time, your doctor will give you a small dose to begin with, and then gradually increase this over the first few weeks. Slowly increasing your dose like this will help to reduce side-effects such as dizziness and low blood pressure, which can occur when you first start treatment.

• हर दिन एक ही समय पर अपनी खुराक लेने की आदत डालने की कोशिश करें, क्योंकि इससे आपको उन्हें नियमित रूप से लेने की याद रहेगी। यदि आप खुराक लेना भूल जाते हैं, तो जैसे ही याद आए, उसे ले लें। हर दिन सही संख्या में खुराक लेने की कोशिश करें, लेकिन छूटी हुई खुराक की भरपाई के लिए एक ही समय पर दो खुराक न लें।.

• यदि आप एक ड्राइवर हैं, तो आपको डीवीएलए और अपनी बीमा कंपनी को बताना चाहिए कि क्या आपको पार्किंसन की बीमारी है। लक्षणों की गंभीरता और आप जो दवाएं ले रहे हैं, उसके आधार पर, चिकित्सा मूल्यांकन के बाद आपको ड्राइव करने की अनुमति मिल सकती है।.
