Huntington's disease

atRest 12.5 Tablet works by reducing extra dopamine levels in the brain. Dopamine is a chemical that controls movement, and too much of it can cause involuntary, jerky movements seen in Huntington’s disease. Balancing dopamine helps calm these movements, making it easier to control body motions and perform daily activities.

Never stop a Parkinson's medicine suddenly — this can cause a severe and dangerous deterioration. Dose timing matters a great deal in Parkinson's disease. Take it at exactly the times prescribed. Report sudden daytime sleep attacks, hallucinations, or new gambling, spending or other impulsive behaviour — these are recognised effects and the dose may need review. Rise slowly from sitting or lying; a drop in blood pressure on standing is common.

Anti-emetics such as metoclopramide and some antipsychotics can worsen Parkinson's symptoms. High-protein meals can reduce the absorption of levodopa — ask your doctor about timing.

Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
