An anti-Parkinson's drug that in recent months has received approval for use in European Union countries, the United States, Great Britain and beyond is yielding surprising results in the cure against the disease that destroys the human nervous system.

We are talking about the drug with the trade name Produodopa, which increases the amount of the hormone dopamine in the brain, responsible for improving patients' movements and emotional state.

This video shows the health condition of a patient in a very advanced stage of the disease, who, due to the degradation of brain cells, could not control his movements due to the strong tremors typical of the disease.

His health condition improved tremendously after using this medicine, enabling him to lead an almost normal life.

The drug is taken via a pump that automatically injects it under the skin, through the veins. The most recent data, those of 2020, showed that 9.4 million people worldwide suffered from this disease, which mainly affects people over 60 years of age.
