Answer: B. An epi-pen
The most commonly used drugs for Parkinson's are DOPA and
carbidopa. But in some cases when the symptoms are not alone
controlled by these medications, a new drug has been approved
called Xadago and is also known as safinamide is used to as
supplement therapy.
Pramipexole is an agonist of dopamine so it is used as a medication
for Parkinson's as it boots the affectivity of the limited dopamine
present in the patient.
