Because of the side effects of levodopa use, people diagnosed with Parkinson’s often choose to delay treatment with levodopa and start with other approved therapies. Typically, the first step is to start with medications that mimic levodopa, like Pramipexole, or medications that help increase natural dopamine levels, like Rasagiline. This clinical trial (phase 3) will research whether combining those two therapies at lower doses will result in good therapeutic effect, with fewer side effects. A previous clinical trial (Phase IIb) of the combination therapy showed positive results.
