Prodromal

Enteric (Gut) Nervous System

Olfactory Bulb Cortical Pathology

Lewy body pathology in the myenteric plexus results in colonic denervation

Olfactory loss occurs bilaterally despite the fact that motor signs are generally asymmetric or unilateral

Cognitive impairment and dementaia eventually affect 80% of patients with PD

Constipation is reported in 60% to 80% patients and may predate motor symptoms by years

Olfactory dysfunction ultimately affects up to 90% of PD patients

Neuropsychiatric symptoms (visual and auditory hallucinations) may present in PD

Table 3. Non-motor symptoms in early PD

•  Non-specific symptoms may precede motor symptoms and Tremor by 20 years

•  Non-specific symptoms o  Hyposmia o  Constipation o  Fatigue

Treatment: General Approach  

•  Algorithm for management of early and late disease Figure 43-4: Monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibitor (e.g., rasagiline) as monotherapy typically first treatment.  

•  Either rasagiline or DA agonist can be used first in physiologically young patients.  

•  Levodopa (e.g., carbidopa/levodopa) is preferred initial therapy for patients older, cognitively impaired, or who have moderately severe functional impairment.  

•  Consider adding catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor to extend levodopa duration of activity when motor fluctuations develop. Alternatively, consider adding MAO-B inhibitor or DA agonist.  

•  Amantadine may be added to manage levodopa-induced peak-dose dyskinesias.

Anticholinergics  o  Can be used as monotherapy or in combination with other drugs.  

o  May improve tremor and dystonia but rarely have substantial benefit for bradykinesia or other symptoms.

Side effects More serious reactions

•  Dry mouth  •  Blurred vision  •  Constipation  •  Urinary retention  

•  Forgetfulness  •  Confusion  •  Sedation  •  Depression  •  Anxiety  

o  Use with caution in patients with preexisting cognitive deficits and in elderly.

Amantadine  o  Modest benefit for tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia; may also decrease

dyskinesia at high doses (400 mg/day).

Adverse effects Renal dysfunction

•  Sedation  •  Vivid dreams  •  Dry mouth  •  Depression  •  Hallucinations  •  Anxiety  •  Dizziness  •  Psychosis  •  Confusion  •  Livedo reticularis common but

reversible  

•  100 mg/day with CLcr 30–50 mL/min (0.5–0.84 mL/s)  

•  100 mg every other day for CLcr 15–29 mL/min (0.25–0.49 mL/s)  

 

•  200 mg every 7 days for CLcr <15 mL/min(0.25 mL/s) and patients on hemodialysis

Page 32: PD_SK_06_15

Carbidopa and carbidopa/levodopa  o  Levodopa is most effective drug and ultimately required by all

patients.  

o  May be started at diagnosis or withheld until symptoms compromise social, occupational, or psychological well-being.  

o  Carbidopa increases CNS penetration of levodopa and decreases adverse effects from peripheral levodopa metabolism to DA:  

Ø  Nausea, Vomiting,  Cardiac arrhythmias,  Postural hypotension,  Vivid dreams  

o  Initially, levodopa 300 mg/day (in divided doses) plus carbidopa (75 mg/day in divided doses) often provides adequate benefit.

o  Sweat, urine, saliva appears in dark in color (i.e., red, brown, or balck) => not a harmful side effect

o  Contraindication; concurrent use with nonselective MAOIs or use within the last 14 days

Page 33: PD_SK_06_15

Catechol-O-Methyltransferase Inhibitors  o  Use only in combination with carbidopa/levodopa to prevent peripheral

conversion of levodopa to DA

o  Increase “on” time by 1–2 hrs and decrease levodopa dosage requirements.  

o  Avoid concomitant use of nonselective MAO inhibitors to prevent inhibition of normal catecholamine metabolism.  

o  May cause brown-orange urine discoloration.

Source: Chen JJ, Nelson MV, Swope DM. Parkinson’s Disease. In: DiPiro JT, Talbert RL, Yee GC, Matzke GR, Wells BG, Posey LM, eds. Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach. 8th ed. 33

Entacapone   Tolcapone    

Give 200 mg with each dose of carbidopa/l-dopa up to 8 times a day.    Manage dopaminergic adverse effects by reducing carbidopa/levodopa dose.    No evidence of hepatotoxicity.  

100 mg 3 times daily starting and recommended dose as adjunct to carbidopa/levodopa.    Reserve for patients with fluctuations unresponsive to other therapies because of potential for fatal liver toxicity.    

Page 34: PD_SK_06_15

DA Agonists  o  Adjunctive therapy in patients with deteriorating, fluctuating, or limited response to

levodopa due to inability to tolerate higher doses.  

o  Decrease frequency of “off” periods and provide levodopa sparing effect.  

o  Preferred in younger patients because of less risk of developing motor complications with monotherapy than from levodopa.  

o  More likely to cause psychosis and orthostatic hypotension in older patients than carbidopa/levodopa.

Side effects: Less common side effects: §  Nausea  

§  Confusion  

§  Hallucinations  

§  Lightheadedness  

§  Lower extremity edema  

§  Postural hypotension  

§  Sedation  

§  Vivid dreams  

§  Compulsive behaviors  

§  Psychosis  

§  Sleep attacks  

§  May worsen dyskinesias when added to levodopa.

o  Pramipexole 0.125 mg 3 times daily initial dose, increased every

5–7 days as tolerated to maximum of 1.5 mg 3 times a day.

o  Ropinirole 0.25 mg 3 times daily initial dose, increased by 0.25 mg 3 times daily every week to maximum of 24 mg/day.

o  Apomorphine given as SC “rescue” injection for patients with advanced disease and intermittent “off” episodes despite optimized therapy.

§  Triggers “on” response within 20 minutes.

§  Duration of effect: up to 100 minutes.

§  Most patients require 0.06 mg/kg SC.

§  Premedicate with antiemetic trimethobenzamide

§  Contraindicated with serotonin-3-receptor blockers (e.g., ondansetron).

o  Bromocriptine not commonly used because of increased risk of pulmonary fibrosis and reduced efficacy.

Monoamine Oxidase B Inhibitors  

Selegiline Rasagiline

Blocks DA breakdown and can extend levodopa duration up to 1 hr; may permit reduction of levodopa dose by as much as one half.    

Increases peak levodopa effects and can worsen dyskinesias or psychiatric symptoms.    

Adverse effects: •  Insomnia

•  Jitteriness  

Oral disintegrating tablet may provide improved response and fewer side effects.  

Also enhances levodopa effects.    

Modest beneficial effect as monotherapy.

1.  Monitor medication administration times.

2.  Monitor to ensure that the patient and/or caregivers understand the prescribed medication regimen.

3.  Monitor and inquire specifically about dose-by-dose effects of medication, including response to doses of medication and the presence of dyskinesias, wearing-off effects, dizziness, nausea, or visual hallucinations.

4.  Monitor and inquire about concerns that caregivers may have about the patient, such as presence of abnormal behaviors, dyskinesias, falls, hallucinations, memory problems, mood changes, and sleep disorders

5.  Monitor for nonadherence and, if present, inquire for possible reasons (e.g., dosing convenience, financial issues, and adverse effects) and offer suggestions

6.  Monitor for presence of drugs that can exacerbate idiopathic Parkinson’s disease motor features (e.g., D2 receptor blockers), and evaluate whether the presence of anticholinergic agent is causing cognitive impairment

Monitoring  

• Ask patients and caregivers to record medication administration times and duration of “on” and “off” periods.  

• Monitor symptoms, side effects, and activities of daily living.  

• Liver function monitoring required for patients taking tolcapone.  

o Discontinue therapy if liver function tests above upper limit of normal or if signs/symptoms suggest hepatic injury.

Effect   Possible Treatments  

End-of-dose “wearing off” (motor fluctuation)  

Increase frequency of carbidopa/L-dopa doses; add either COMT inhibitor or MAO-B inhibitor or DA agonist  

“Delayed on” or “no on” response   Give carbidopa/L-dopa on empty stomach; use carbidopa/L-dopa ODT; avoid carbidopa/L-dopa CR; use apomorphine subcutaneous  

Start hesitation (“freezing”)  

Increase carbidopa/L-dopa dose; add a dopamine agonist or MAO-B inhibitor; utilize physical therapy along with assistive walking devices or sensory cues (e.g., rhythmic commands, stepping over objects)  

Peak-dose dyskinesia   Provide smaller doses of carbidopa/L-dopa; add amantadine

1.  General measures such as evaluating for electrolyte disturbance (especially hypercalcemia or hyponatremia), hypoxemia, or infection (especially encephalitis, sepsis, or urinary tract infection)

2.  Simplify the antiparkinsonian regimen as much as possible by discontinuing or reducing the dosage of medications with the highest risk-to-benefit ratio firsta

a. Discontinue anticholinergics, including other nonparkinsonian medications with anticholinergic activity such as antihistamines or tricyclic antidepressants

b. Taper and discontinue amantadine c. Discontinue monoamine oxidase-B inhibitor d. Taper and discontinue dopamine agonist e. Consider reduction of L-dopa (especially evening doses) and

discontinuation of catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitors

3.  Consider atypical antipsychotic medication if disruptive hallucinosis or psychosis persists

a. Quetiapine 12.5–25 mg at bedtime; gradually increase by 25 mg each week if necessary, until hallucinosis or psychosis improved or

b. Clozapine 12.5–50 mg at bedtime; gradually increase by 25 mg each week if necessary until hallucinosis or psychosis improved (requires frequent monitoring for leukopenia)

•  Course unpredictable but disease progresses over time.  

•  Secondary complications (e.g., pneumonia, fall-related injuries, choking) can be fatal.  

•  With appropriate treatment, most patients have long, productive lives for years after diagnosis.

Prognosis  

Page 45: PD_SK_06_15

Clinical Pearl

•  As PD progress, the timing of medication needs to coincide with symptoms

•  Evaluate the onset and duration of each dose and make modification accordingly

•  Symptoms may worsen when patients are forced to receive medications at predetermined dosing times such as those used in hospitals and nursing homes

=>Let the patient’s symptoms guide the dosing times

Summary •  Clinical Presentation

•  Diagnostic criteria

•  Pharmacotherapy goals, drug therapy, nondrug therapy, and monitoring parameters

•  Based on patient’s perception of the severity of symptoms and effect on quality of life, recommendation should be given
