Non‐ergot dopamine agonist therapy for Parkinson's disease in Japan: A claims database analysis

Abstract

Levodopa monotherapy and combination therapy with non‐ergot dopamine agonists (DAs; pramipexole, ropinirole, and rotigotine) are commonly used in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Changes in prescription preferences for each DA were reported previously; however, information regarding the selection of individual DAs is insufficient.
