Why Is Amlong Prescribed For Body Imbalance Patient?
My father is 75 years old. He is suffering from body imbalance from past 4 months. He need support to walk. He has under gone many Medical tests. From MRI report we got to know that he is not suffering from stroke. Doctor diognised that he may be suffering from Perkinson disease and gave treatment for 2 months. As their is no improvement in his health.His voice is broken as well. They are asking to get admitted to trace what it could be. Last time when he had gone to visit Doctor he is adviced to take AMLONG . I need to know for what reason it is given and the problem it will address. What are the other reason for this disabilities. Thank you, Jagadeesh

Hello,
Your father needs a transcranial sonography with a sonography machine not older than 5 years (due to improvements in technology) and a well-trained physician. If it’s Parkinson’s (PD) a specific part of the brain will shine whitish in the transcranial sonogram. If this technology is not available a “DAT scan” is also possible. PD is NOT visible in MRI or CT. However, what you describe sounds quite strongly like PD.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Alexander Davis, General & Family Physician
