Hi,

First of all, you should add dopamine agonist and adjust the dose of syndopa plus. Moreover, he could take Coenzyme Q 10 three hours after meals every day to decrease the side effect of atorlip 10 mg and help improve motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Vitamin B complex once per day after meals, one tablespoonful of flax seed oil, well balanced diet can help him. Too much fat, salt and processed sugar can be harmful. The routine measuring of blood pressure is important for him. Acupuncture has little benefit for him.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
