The neurologists in our city are familiar with mucuna pruriens or Zandopa…. So there’s no one to help me with figuring this out. He has lost about 40 lbs over the past year// his appetite was really low—. He used to be a big eater-/ really enjoyed food! It’s been a hard last couple of years.
it sounds really overwhelming. Losing 40 lbs in a year with worsening appetite and diarrhea is serious. This isn’t just a “med side effect” anymore; it’s now malnutrition and possible dehydration, and it’s taking a toll on both his Parkinson’s and overall health. - Why this is serious Persistent diarrhea after Zandopa → he’s losing nutrients and fluids every day. Weight loss + low appetite → puts him at high risk for weakness, infections, and worsening cognition. Stopping Zandopa worsens Parkinson’s → but continuing it causes diarrhea. This is a high-priority medical situation. Waiting for the “perfect neurologist” isn’t safe - Immediate Steps You Can Take Today Do not stop Zandopa abruptly. It’s worsening Parkinson’s symptoms. - Hydrate aggressively: ORS, coconut water, rice water. - High-calorie, soft foods if tolerated: bananas, oatmeal, yogurt, nut butters, soups. - Track stool frequency, consistency, timing after Zandopa. - Seek urgent medical attention: even a general physician or internist can help stabilize him, check labs (CBC, electrolytes, kidney function), and manage diarrhea temporarily -as advice upper ayurvedic support medicine+ loperamide - while planning neurologist follow-up. ***** If there will not any general physician also u got, kindly tell history, and where u live?
Ok , got it due to this you can’t stop zandopa No worries, At present we can’t stop zandopa in that case , but give it in low dose right in this situation, and consult with your doctor he will give alternate option for this medicine. And what u to do now - - low dose zandopa - loperamide 2 mg after stool - max 4/day - continue with ayurveda medicine as supportive.
वो Levidopa Carbidopa CR 100/25 दिन में 1-2 बार ले रहे हैं। उन्हें दवाओं के प्रति बहुत संवेदनशीलता हो गई है और उन्हें दवा से कम से कम 1.5 घंटे पहले या बाद में प्रोटीन लेना पड़ता है। जब वो Zandopa भी ले रहे थे, तब वो उतने कमजोर या मानसिक रूप से अच्छे नहीं थे। वो लगभग 3 महीने से Zandopa नहीं ले रहे हैं… मैं ये समझने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ कि उन्हें फिर से स्वस्थ कैसे किया जाए।
