Parkinson's clinic: what to do about eye swelling after taking amantadine
Gansu Qingyang Parkinson's disease patient Cao Mou, male, now 62 years old. Cao Mou in two years ago appeared Parkinson's symptoms, unilateral foot shaking phenomenon, began to be able to consciously control not to shake, and then developed to the hand also shaking, and there is a tendency to aggravate. Because Cao Mou previously suffered from high blood pressure, took a few years of antihypertensive drugs, and Cao Mou was an engineer, the work of the pressure is very high, so I am not sure whether it is a pharmacogenetic or primary Parkinson's disease. In the local county hospital for examination, the doctor said it was a neurological problem, in the city hospital neurology examination, the doctor said it was said to be Parkinson's disease, gave the prescription of goldganglionamide and Antan. After taking these two drugs for more than a month, Cao appeared to have swollen eyes, poor mental state and other problems. Going to the city hospital again, the doctor replaced the amantadine and antan with methyldopa. Cao didn't dare to take the medicine because he was afraid of the side effects of Medoba. The patient's performance is indeed a symptom of Parkinson's disease. The exact cause of Parkinson's disease is still unclear, so there are only treatments for the symptoms, but not for the cause. Generally speaking, early Parkinson's disease is treated with medication and late Parkinson's disease is treated with surgery. The patient's symptomatic time is still relatively short, there is no need for surgical treatment, drug treatment is enough. First eat Medopa, and then adjust the medicine when any abnormalities appear later.
