In the case of Apomorphine, this means: Treats the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It is most often a maintenance treatment, taken at regular times over long periods; its benefit is judged over time, not by how you feel on the day.
Under which brands it is found
In France, about 4 reimbursable presentations containing Apomorphine are recorded. It is found under several brand names and as generics.
- Apokinon

- Apomorphine Viatris
- Dopaceptin
Original brand-name products and generics deliver the same active substance; the choice between them is made with your doctor or pharmacist.
Do you need a supplement? No.
For Apomorphine, we offer no supplement. No nutritional supplementation has any serious justification to set against this treatment, and we prefer to say so rather than invent a need. Our range is limited to five classes of everyday medicines for which a targeted intake makes sense; beyond these, we sell nothing for the sake of selling, and that is what gives weight to our five references.
