Symptomatic management of idiopathic parkinsonian syndrome.

Used as an adjunct to levodopa for the symptomatic management of parkinsonian syndrome in patients with advanced disease.

Also used as monotherapy for the initial symptomatic management of parkinsonian syndrome. Most clinicians would use levodopa for initial therapy in individuals >70 years of age (less likely than younger individuals to develop levodopa-related motor complications and because of concerns about cognitive dysfunction), in patients with cognitive impairment, and in those with severe disease. A dopamine receptor agonist may be preferred for initial therapy in patients ≤70 years of age.
