Ask the Expert: Medication and Non-Motor Symptoms (2021)

During this webinar, clinical pharmacist Tiana Tilli from the University of British Columbia’s (UBC) Pharmacists Clinic provides insights into the identification and management of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease. She highlights common symptoms like nausea, constipation, aches and pains, restless legs, and sexual health issues, emphasizing both lifestyle recommendations and medication options for alleviating these symptoms. The session also touches upon the use of natural health products, cautioning about the lack of evidence supporting their efficacy in treating Parkinson's disease.

The talk delves into the use of both natural health products and medications for addressing symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease, discussing specific options such as melatonin for sleep, probiotics for gut health, and calcium supplements for bone health. Tiana mentions the availability of the pharmacist clinic at UBC as a valuable resource for personalized medication management, offering attendees the opportunity for one-on-one consultations.
