OTC Drugs
In addition to prescribed medications, your doctor would suggest several OTC drugs to treat different symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. These include:
– Painkillers to alleviate nerve or muscle pain
– Thickeners for liquids to deal with difficulty swallowing
– Fiber supplements to relieve constipation
– Calcium or vitamin D supplements to maintain bone health
Keep in mind to discuss with your doctor before taking any OTC herbs, supplements, or medications to avoid interaction with prescribed products. [6]
