WHAT IS USE OF TRIVASTAL LA
TRIVASTAL LA contains Piribedil which belongs to the group of medicines called Antiparkinsonian agents. It is used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease either alone or in combination with other drugs. Parkinson’s disease is a movement disorder caused due to less production of brain chemical called dopamine by brain cells. It is characterized by symptoms such as uncontrollable movements such as shaking, stiffness and difficulty with balance and coordination.
TRIVASTAL LA is not recommended for use in patients with heart disease (such as cardiovascular shock or acute phase of myocardial infarction), fructose intolerance, glucose or galactose malabsorption or sucrase-isomaltase deficiency.
USES OF TRIVASTAL LA
Treatment of chronic pathological cognitive and neurosensorial deficit (problems with memory, cognition or paying attention)
Treatment of intermittent claudication (muscle pain due to blood flow problems) in chronic obliterating arteriopathies of the lower limbs
HOW TRIVASTAL LA WORKS
TRIVASTAL LA helps to control symptoms of Parkinson’s disease by acting on certain brain receptors (called dopamine receptors) which increases the production of brain chemical called dopamine resulting in improved co-ordination of the body movements. It also aids in the increased blood flow in the thigh bone (femoral blood flow) which helps in better movement of limbs.
