Default drug

am confused--I thought increased BBB permeability was not desirable--in fact was instrumental in development of PD. are you discussing selective BBB permeability increases? and how is that ensured?
If a "defective" BBB is etiopathologic in parkinson's, how does increasing its permeability help? I am aware with this antihypertensive drug, permeability to calcium is the affected--though blockage of calcium channels does not imply increased BBB permeability to this element . thanks, madelyn
