Official title
Erythromycin in Parkinson's Disease: A Pilot Study of Its Effects on Levodopa Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying) is a common feature of Parkinson's Disease. Levodopa (Sinemet), a common medication for Parkinson's Disease, can make gastroparesis worse. Gastroparesis effects how the levodopa is absorbed and used by the body. This study will explore the possibility of using Erythromycin, a drug commonly used (off label) for gastroparesis, along with levodopa to determine if there is improved levodopa absorption and motor function.
