January 3, 2007 — Results of a randomized trial show that the addition of zonisamide (Zonegran, Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma), an antiepileptic drug, to levodopa therapy was safe, well tolerated, and produced a reduction in tremor, motor fluctuations, and dyskinesias in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with insufficient response to levodopa.
