Popis: 125 patients in the early stages of Parkinson's syndrome were randomized and subjected to prearranged treatment adaptation period. Subsequently they were treated with either a mean dosage of 444 mg levodopa and benserazide (47 patients) or a combination of a mean of 298 mg levodopa and benserazide plus 17 mg bromocriptine (32 patients). Follow-up was done up to three years. Combined treatment permitted reduction of the levodopa dosage by 39%. As assessed by improvement of symptoms of Parkinson's syndrome in patients with a minimum treatment period of 1 or 3 years combined treatment was shown to be superior to monotherapy.
