Clinical Manifestation & Management of Parkinson's Disease
Learn to manage Parkinson’s disease medications effectively with this activity. Refresh your understanding of its pathophysiology, drug targets, classes of antiparkinson's drugs, clinical use, and adverse effects.
About this course
Clinicians, especially pharmacists, are highly trained to manage the complex medication regimens of patients with Parkinson’s disease. Adequate attention is required in managing Parkinson’s medications and side effects. Otherwise, symptoms can become poorly controlled, and the patient’s condition can deteriorate easily. Accordingly, clinicians’ knowledge needs to be up-to-date on the recent discoveries and clinical guidelines in the management of Parkinson’s disease.
This activity will provide a refresher on the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease and help them understand and identify the biological targets for drug intervention. It will also discuss the different classes of antiparkinson’s drugs, their clinical use, and their adverse effects.

Real reviews, real results
I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
