my father age around 78 Y old . He has facing issue like slowness in the walking and right side eye visibility very less . he can not walk without other person support , he can feel , if I walk alone I can fell down. we have consult neurologist in Kakinada A.P and they said this is the one of the symptom of parkinson. he is using syndopa plus tab for 2 years daily 3 to 4 times but no improvement. Recently we have consultant other neurologist in Hyderabad he said there is some water in the brain and did CRF tap after that it was controlled urine and little improvement in walking but not more than 3 days. They said to stop syndopa plus. Please suggest us , if we give syndopa plus is there any other side effects.

Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the slow walking, reduced visibility in eye with urinary problem indicates possible normal pressure hydrocephalus issue. An MRI brain is very important in the diagnosis of this issue. The improvement in urinary symptoms after CSF tapping indicates support of my clinical assumption theory.

There is no role of Syndopa in this type of cases as evidenced by no improvement since 2 years of therapy. If you have MRI plates available with you, kindly share with me.

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
