Suggest Treatment For Dystonia In An Elderly Person

Dose of Sinemet can be increased.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.
I have noted your diagnosis and the current medications. The symptoms of tremors and dystonia would get better with medications. Initially, you could increase the dose of sinemet to 4 times daily, and if needed 5 times daily. Adding Ropinirole or pramipexole would also help.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
