Committee Recommendations (1)

06 Jun 18 - Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)
  • Non-ergot derived Dopamine agonists (or levodopa or monoamine oxidase B inhibitors) are a first-line treatment option in the early stages of Parkinson's disease where motor symptoms do not impact quality of life.
  • Non-ergot derived Dopamine agonists are a choice of adjuvant treatment in patients who have developed dyskinesia or motor fluctuations despite optimal levodopa therapy
  •  Non-ergot derived Dopamine agonists may be considered in the treatment of nocturnal akinesia in Parkinson's disease.

Initiation may be carried out in Primary Care but only after recommendation by a specialist.

Modifications to therapy should only be carried out on specialist advice.

Prescribers are reminded to prescribe generically and not by brand.
