Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Based on the description, your father seems to be suffering from PARKINSON'S DISEASE (PD). The medications are required in PD for a long time, mostly lifelong. Vomiting and nausea are common side effects of syndopa and ropark. Please discuss these issues with his neurologist, who would adjust the medications to suit him.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
