Cause and Symptoms: An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the toenail, usually the big toe, grows into the skin next to it (lateral nail fold). This results in pain at the side of the toe and often redness, swelling, and discharge characteristic of an infection.
Amantadine Has Lasting Benefit on Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia. For patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who have levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID), amantadine can maintain its antidyskinetic effect over several years, a new study indicates.
Amantadine is used to treat Parkinsons disease, as well as parkinsonism syndromes. A 2003 Cochrane review concluded evidence was inadequate to support the use of amantadine for Parkinson's disease. An extended relief formulation is used to treat dyskinesia, a side effect of levodopa which is taken by people who have Parkinsons.
