Abstract

[...]this paper would add most required clarity on the utilization of Apomorphine in Indian subjects and their responses to therapies. Long-term utilization and experiences are planned via the setup of an academic registry and in due time will add various aspects of this therapy in Indian subjects. [...]the molecule was not available in the Indian market directly to the patients. [...]similar to the process wherein levodopa is used in atypical parkinsonism patients in whom clinical benefits are noted, Apomorphine can also be considered for clinical benefits if requisite indications are met (like rescue therapy, uncomfortable fluctuations, etc.).
