Madopar prescripted Madopar for 15 years old

Hello all.

Doctor said to give my 15 years old brother Madopar (he has parkinson-like syndroms)

I read that it mustn't be given to people under the age 25. I'm interested, in detail -  what exactly will happen if it is taken by a person under 25?

I'm not medically qualified, but I understand it is because it might interfere with bone development in a young person. Could your brother get a second opinion?

Better check that....sometimes drugs are not recommended simply because they have not been tested on that particular group.  Ex: our grandchild, aged three, had every kind of seizure but the Medtronic implant device had only been tested on people between 12-55 so it wasn't recommended.  We discussed it with his seizure doc, however, and after the team discussed it, they implanted it (that would be off label) and it was the first done on a cold that young.  Really successful.  Just to let you know there are a variety of reasons for not using a med.  why are you using that drug?  Rare for symptoms in one so young.  I would suggest you get a second opinion and a panel of all his cellular nutrients.  What kind of doctor said that?

Did his doctor check for Wilson's disease? Wilson's disease is a genetic copper hoarding disease and causes a early onset Parkinson's syndrome.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilso...

Or they need to do a genetic test for Parkin gene mutations. Though in the following article it names Hispanics to be most at risk for Parkin induced parkinsonism.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/205...

Either way, for Wilson's disease or idiopathic Parkinson's the best herb in town is curcumin:

"Reduced expression of ATP7B affected by Wilson disease-causing mutations is rescued by pharmacological folding chaperones 4-phenylbutyrate and curcumin."

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/199...

Curcumin and Parkinson's (it is a whole page about curcumin and PD studies):

Best wishes for your brother.
