Stepan Blaskhe: Of course you are right in that we should all include the
generic names when discussing parkinson drugs on this list. Many foreign
members are not familar with our trade names - Eldepryl for example is also
called Deprenyl (generic name seligeline)
Here is a partial list of common PD drugs:
Symmetrel (amantadine)
Anicholinergic drugs - Artane (trihexypenidyl)
Akineton (biperiden)
Kemadrin (procyclidine)
Pagitane (cycrimine)
Cogentin (benztropine)
Dopamine agonists - Parlodel (bromocriptine)
Permax (pergolide)
Dopergin (lisuride)
Dopaminergics - Sinemet (carbidopa/levadopa or l-Dopa)
Sinemet CR (controlled release)
Hope this helps
