[Dopamine receptor agonists in treatment of outpatient patients with Parkinson's disease].
The paper summarized an experience of pronoran (piribedil) treatment of 516 patients with Parkinson's disease (primary parkinsonism) conducted in the district outpatient clinics of 7 Moscow administrative areas. In 84 cases, the medication was used as a monotherapy and in 432--in combination with levodopa-contained drug madopar. An improvement of patient's state, with reducing of bradikinesia, tremor and rigidity, was achieved in 73.0 +/- 20.4% of the patients. Combined therapy allowed decreasing of madopar dosage in 58.5 +/- 16.7% of the patients. Pronoran (piribedil) is well tolerated. The authors recommend it for the treatment of outpatients with Parkinson's disease.
