Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

It is unfortunate that your father has been diagnosed as PSP- progressive supra nuclear palsy. As your doctor suggested, there is no medicine avaialble.for treating PSP. However, we need to be sure of the diagnosis. Diagnosis of PSP can be made on the basis of clinical examination and MRI brain findings.

Also, syndopa and Ropark should not be used in patients with PSP, as there could be a lot of side effects.

Best wishes,
