Charlie,

As far as I know patients with vascular parkinsonism have poor response to levodopa and another treatment is needed for them. They say : ” The treatment of vascular parkinsonism is to try to lower the chance of having additional strokes in the future, by attempting to control “stroke risk factors”. Easier said than done …. - high blood pressure is one of the major risk factors and it is not easy to control. Madopar is not the only drug she takes at the moment, there are some more to lower her blood pressure. Movement Disorder Specialist is a rear thing in Russia where she is living. All right, let’s hope for the best.

Thanks,

Lara
