Parkinson's Disease: How to Optimise ON-OFF Periods during L-dopa Therapy

This book is not worth the price being asked a fair price would have been £5-99. l expected far more information, several of the pages are assigned for notes ,dedications and contact details for Parkinson’s organisation which can be found easily enough by using any search engine. I have upwards of 40 books on Parkinsons and this one is the only one l have regretted purchasing it is more like a brochure than a book. I would not recommend it.

Brilliantly written. In an area of medicine where the dosage and timings of taking medication are very much patient led, this book helps you test, record and present the information to your consultant in a way that is easily understood so adjustments can be made if necessary

A real life-changing book for Parkinson's disease patients, carers and researchers. Very informative yet very practical. Key biochemical pathways are explained simply and always in context with Parkinson's disease. This book helped me understand Parkinson's disease better, and it provides a step by step guidance that is realistic, easy to follow and it DOES make a difference in real life. Well done to the authors for the excellent work.

This is a very valuable book for both people with Parkinson’s Disease and for health professionals as it provides specific drug response templates for patients to fill in and give to their health professional, so that they can determine a more precise dosage of L-dopa. This helps enable health professionals to work out better timings for taking L-dopa containing medications to minimise any wearing off of the medication and to make sure people with Parkinson’s Disease stay “on” for longer and are far more comfortable, thereby helping improve quality of life.
