Expert opinion

No strong evidence exists to support use of a specific adjunctive treatment for improving Off time. Only one medication has demonstrated improvement in dyskinesia in levodopa-treated PD patients; however, every patient cannot tolerate it and therefore adjunctive therapy should be tailored to an individual’s symptoms and risk for specific adverse effects.

Nourianz. Also known as Istradefylline

I had a noticeable benefit since starting Nourianz

Yes, it really works. I was out of it for a month due to insurance issues and I was miserable during that month.
