There is no such thing as 'simple' Parkinsonism. The Parkinson syndrome is complex and often gives rise to considerable disagreement over its classification and treatment. Artane (benzhexol) is still one of the most versatile antiparkinsonism drugs available after twenty years of clinical use. When levodopa is indicated, concomitant administration of Artane often improves therapeutic results. Artane also protects from distressing drug-induced extrapyramidal effects where levodopa is ineffective. Side effects an important consideration in any long term treatment are comparatively few. This makes Artane one of the most acceptable drugs available for the treatment of Parkinsonism. The economical price also makes Artane an attractive alternative when the routine management of the condition is being considered. Artane the versatile antiparkinsonism drug. |
