One year of continuous subcutaneous (under-the-skin) apomorphine infusion (CSAI) reduced the severity of advanced Parkinson’s disease among patients across India, a study showed. Disease motor symptoms, as well as various Parkinson’s nonmotor symptoms like fatigue, pain, anxiety and depression, — along with quality of life — improved…

Home initiation of under-the-skin (subcutaneous) apomorphine infusion — a treatment for motor fluctuations — is faster at improving the life quality of Parkinson’s disease patients than in hospital initiation, a French study has shown. Continuous subcutaneous apomorphine infusion (CSAI) initiation at home for Parkinson’s was found to be feasible…

EVER Pharma has launched a mobile app for the D-mine Pump, its portable micro-infusion pump designed to continuously deliver apomorphine under the skin (subcutaneously) to patients with Parkinson’s disease. The app was designed to train healthcare professionals and caregivers on how to use the pump and program the infusion device. It’s…

Two years of continuous treatment with apomorphine as an under-the-skin infusion safely preserved quality of life and effectively eased motor fluctuations in people with advanced Parkinson’s disease, according to a single-center, real-life study in France. Notably, patients with poor life quality before starting with continuous apomorphine were more likely to improve in…

Apomorphine infusion, delivered by a portable device, helps to treat Parkinson’s disease and allows reduced use of other medications that may cause symptom fluctuations and treatment side effects. But in the long run, few patients are able to stay on the treatment for more than a few years, an Australian study shows. The study,…
