The use of lisuride in severe Parkinson's disease.
Four patients with severe Parkinson's disease were given a trial of lisuride. Two patients responded well, but the other 2 developed psychiatric complications which seemed to be a major limiting factor in the use of the drug. Otherwise, lisuride could be useful in difficult Parkinsonian patients who have a diminished response to levodopa.
