Hi,

The case is stronger for hair treatments. Both are used increasingly with increasing age and certainly increasing age is strongly associated with Parkinson's disease. So, mostly it is co-incidence. I know why age causes Parkinson's disease. It would be quite a stretch how a BP medicine would that does not interact with Dopamine.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
