prednisolone and Parkinson Disease

prednisolone has been researched along with Parkinson Disease in 7 studies

Prednisolone: A glucocorticoid with the general properties of the corticosteroids. It is the drug of choice for all conditions in which routine systemic corticosteroid therapy is indicated, except adrenal deficiency states.
prednisolone : A glucocorticoid that is prednisone in which the oxo group at position 11 has been reduced to the corresponding beta-hydroxy group. It is a drug metabolite of prednisone.

Parkinson Disease: A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.

"Since the degree of overexpression of D3R is increased in a high dose of pramipexole, for patients with PD who are treated with L-dopa chronically, a new use of pramipexole and an increase in dose to alleviate the symptoms of PD should be implemented with caution while closely observing the occurrence of drug-induced complications such as dystonia and CRPS."7.85Pramipexole-induced limb dystonia and its associated complex regional pain syndrome in idiopathic Parkinson's disease: A case report.
