How Neupro Works
Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system. Parkinson's disease is caused by the progressive impairment or deterioration of neurons (nerve cells) in an area of the brain known as the substantia nigra. When functioning normally, these neurons produce a vital brain chemical known as dopamine. The estimated 4 million patients worldwide suffering from this disease suffer from a lack of dopamine, a messenger substance in the central nervous system, which is responsible for the co-ordination of movement. The lack of dopamine causes the patient to be unable to control their movements reliably. Neupro attempts to compensate for this lack of dopamine
