Hi,

First of all, he should do some investigations such as:an MRI T2-Weighted Brain axial view, measuring blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, CBC and liver function tests. Second, he can take Fluphenazine 1 mg half a tablet before breakfast for 5 days, then half a tablet twice per day before meals for 5 days then increase the dose by half a tablet before meals every 5 days until the dose becomes 1.5 mg twice per day before meals. The anti-oxidant such as Ubiquinone 30 mg before dinner once per day can slow the deterioration of the disease.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mustafa, Neurologist
