Dyskinesia vs. Dystonia: Understanding the Difference
... Examples of these drugs include: Ropinirole (Requip) Pramipexole (Mirapex) Apomorphine (Apokyn) Rotigotine (Neupro) Amantadine (Gocovri) is another drug that can reduce dyskinesia and help Parkinson’s symptoms. It works by increasing the amount of dopamine in the brain, which alleviates movement symptoms associated with the disease. ...

Managing Parkinson's Disease Motor Fluctuations
... Amantadine (Gocovri, Osmolex ER, Symmetrel) works on the dopamine and glutamate brain chemical pathways. Amantadine is most often used for dyskinesia or mild Parkinson’s symptoms. Adenosine receptor agonists (Nourianz) work as add-ons to Levodopa to treat “off” time by blocking the brain chemical adenosine to boost the signaling of dopamine. ...
