Since it is a prescription medication, you will need to do that anyway.<BR/><BR/>We are not doctors and we cannot recommend one medication over another. We do not prescribe. We only discuss medications with which we have had personal experience. When we may discuss side effects of other medications, we will state that our discussion is not from experience but rather from the experiences of others. <BR/><BR/>Whether this medication would be effective or not in your father's case might depend, among other things, upon what stage of Parkinson's he is in now.<BR/><BR/>Dynacirc (Isradipine is the generic name - not a generic drug) is a calcium agonist originally used to lower blood pressure. It should not be used by anyone in congestive heart failure.<BR/><BR/>You should print out information on Dynacirc CR, the controlled release version, for the physician. Since there is a recognized "off-label" use for this medication, doctors are now prescribing it. But that is your father's doctor's decision.<BR/> <BR/>Best Wishes<BR/>Parkinson's Focus TodayMagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436149078101579405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576518534043843234.post-74159857714204250692009-02-24T10:01:00.000-05:002009-02-24T10:01:00.000-05:00thank you very much for all the information.
