parkinson patient comes back to you

[IMG SURVIVOR]

1 week later the patient says that his doctor prescribe him a second medication for his side effects(palpitations, high blood pressure)

1-what medication the doctor prescribe him?
2-MOA of this medication?
3-what is the difference between this medication and phenelzine?

[md90]

have to look this up.. clueless????? :confused:

[ZWobble]

did he prescribe him a tricyclic?

[IMG SURVIVOR]

Cavidopa remember he was taking only Ldopa and taking that medication alone he had those side effects.

Carvidopa will inhibit the transfomation of dopa to dopamine and to noradrenaline outside the brain.

One is MAO A the other is MAO B

Zwobble great analogy because tryciclics actually give you those side effects, VERY GOOD
