Hello,
Drugs that are used in Parkinson's disease (levodopa for example) may be used for movement symptoms in MSA. If your father showed orthostatic hypotension, droxidopa may be used also. Antidepressants may be used for mood disorders. Discuss with the Neurologist for these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
