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.
Symptoms of Parkinsonâs disease may be caused by low levels dopamine in the brain. Levodopa is turned into dopamine in the body. Carbidopa helps prevent the breakdown of levodopa before it can reach the brain and take effect. The combination of carbidopa and levodopa is used to treat Parkinson symptoms such as muscle stiffness, tremors, spasms, and poor muscle control.
