What should my mom take other then prescription drugs to help with starting of parkinson's?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No supplements: There isn't a lot of evidence for agents other than prescription medicine. We used to recommend coenzyme q10, but more evidence has not shown benefit. Exercise is definitely beneficial, particularly vigorous exercise, so she should do that, but ultimately nothing works as well as the parkinson medications.
