Parkinol is used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, a neurological disorder that affects movement and typically manifests as tremors, muscle stiffness, or slowness of movement. This medication works by improving the balance of chemicals in the brain, particularly dopamine, which helps reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. Parkinol is also prescribed for other conditions, such as treating the side effects of other medications, especially those that cause movement disorders similar to those associated with Parkinson's disease.
Parkinol is also sometimes used to relieve muscle spasms that may occur as a result of certain diseases.
