¿What is the most important information I should know about Trivastal?

In Parkinson’s disease, the presynaptic extremities of dopaminergic neurons situated in the substantia nigra are altered to varying degrees, depending on the severity and history of the lesion. Dopamine, a neurotransmitter synthetized in the presynaptic extremities, is therefore synthesized in smaller quantities, and postsynaptic nerve endings (especially cholinergic, but also glutamatergic and GABAergic) are no longer sufficiently stimulated to allow effective neurotransmission. Piribedil, the active substance of Trivastal retard 50, crosses the blood-brain barrier to act on the cerebral dopaminergic pathways.
