Hello,

They may show slowly resistance to the dose of Syndopa.

Treatment may vary depending upon the presentation.

If she is having more on and off phenomenon then need to add long-acting drug.

If she is suffering from rigidity then need to add Trihexyphenidyl.

If she is having rapid lysis of carbidopa need to add COMT inhibitors.

Treatment varies depending upon on the person condition.

Parkinson plus syndrome may not respond to the drugs.

So please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
