About End-of-Dose Wearing Off Parkinson's
End-of-dose wearing off, often simply called 'wearing off,' is a common motor complication experienced by many people with Parkinson's disease, particularly as the condition progresses.

It’s a sign that the brain's ability to store dopamine is decreasing, making the body more reliant on the precise timing and absorption of each levodopa dose.
Managing wearing off often involves adjusting the timing and dosage of levodopa, taking smaller doses more frequently, or adding other medications. These adjunctive therapies can include MAO-B inhibitors (like rasagiline or selegiline) to prolong dopamine's effect,
