drugs which replace dopamine (levodopa; the most common drug treatment); drugs which mimic the role of dopamine (dopamine agonists); drugs which inhibit the
Antiparkinson drugs that aim to replace dopamine in the central nervous system, either release dopamine or mimic the action of dopamine. Drugs that replace dopamine are generally given with peripherally acting dopa carboxylase inhibitors, to prevent the metabolism of levodopa to dopamine peripherally. Dopamine receptor agonists bind to dopamine
Dopamine Antagonists Dopamine antagonists are a class of drugs that bind to and block dopamine receptors. Dopamine antagonists turn down dopamine activity, which may be useful for the treatment of
