Parkinsons disease is a condition affecting the nervous system. It causes muscle tremor, stiffness and slowness of movement that becomes progressively worse over time. The condition was first described by Dr James Parkinson in 1817. It affects approximately one in 100 people over 65 years old, and one in 10 people over 80. The symptoms of Parkinsons disease often begin around the age of 55. In Parkinsons disease, production of a substance called dopamine in the brain is reduced. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in passing messages within the brain and from the brain to the muscles. The part of the brain affected is called the substantia nigra, which co-ordinates muscle movement. No one knows exactly what causes Parkinson's disease, but studies with identical twins suggest that genetic factors play a part. Also, some patients with generalised brain disease get Parkinson-like symptoms, which suggests that earlier damage to the brain might have a role in causing the disease. Parkinsons disease is not contagious.

Extractions: Parkinson's Disease What Is It? Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info What Is It? Parkinson's disease is a disease of the central nervous system that causes problems with body motions, including tremor (shakiness), rigidity (muscle stiffness), slowed body movements, unstable posture and difficulty walking. It happens when nerve cells (neurons) in a part of the brain called the substantia nigra gradually die. These cells normally produce dopamine, a chemical that helps to relay messages between areas of the brain that control body movement. The death of cells in this area of the brain leads to abnormally low levels of dopamine, which makes it difficult for a person with Parkinson's disease to control muscle tension and muscle movement, both at rest and during periods of activity.

Extractions: What is Parkinson's disease? Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic (persistent) disorder of part of the brain. It is named after the doctor who first described it. It mainly affects the way the brain co-ordinates the movements of the muscles in various parts of the body. Who gets Parkinson's disease? PD mainly develops in people over the age of 50. It becomes more common with increasing age. About 5 in 1000 people in their 60s, and about 20 in 1000 people in their 80s have PD. Men and women are equally affected. Rarely, it develops in people under the age of 50. PD is not usually inherited, and it can affect anyone. However, genetic (hereditary) factors may be important in the small number of people who develop the disease before the age of 50. What causes Parkinson's disease?

Extractions: Important Safety Information You may experience side effects when you take REQUIP. The most commonly reported side effects are nausea, headache, dizziness, drowsiness or sleepiness, and dyskinesia (uncontrolled movements). Patients are advised to talk with their doctor about whether they have the potential to develop the sedating effects associated with REQUIP, which include somnolence and the possibility of falling asleep while engaged in activities of daily living like operating a motor vehicle. Fainting or low blood pressure may occur during initial treatment with REQUIP or with an increase in dose. Hallucinations (unreal visions, sounds, or sensations) may occur while taking REQUIP, and REQUIP may potentiate the side effects of L-dopa.
