Resumen
La apomorfina es un agonista dopa que se viene usando desde hace más 25 años en el tratamiento de la enfermedad de Parkinson avanzada con complicaciones motoras complejas, por lo cual sigue siendo de gran importancia en el tratamiento de esta etapa de la enfermedad.
En el siguiente escrito, realizado por el Comité de Movimientos Anormales de la Asociación Colombiana de Neurología, se hace una revisión respecto a la medicación, su eficacia y el papel en el manejo de la enfermedad de Parkinson, así como una comparación entre las diferentes terapias avanzadas disponibles hoy en día. De la misma manera el Comité hace recomendaciones sobre las indicaciones, elección de candidatos y protocolos para el inicio de las diferentes formas de administración (intermitente e infusión continua) para optimizar el uso de esta terapia y facilitar la adherencia al tratamiento.
Por otra parte, se revisan los efectos adversos relacionados con la terapia y se hacen recomendaciones sobre el manejo de las mismas, el seguimiento que se debe hacer a los pacientes que reciban apomorfina y las claves en el tratamiento a largo plazo.
