Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive neurological disorder characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms. PD is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease and the most common movement disorder. PD has age-related pathology; it is present in 1-2% of the population over 60 years of age. The disease is characterized by a triad of disordered voluntary motor activity in the form of bradykinesia (slowness of movement) or even akinesia (absence of movement),rigidity and postural instability, and a resting tremor of the hands and less commonly the feet.

will receive their standard dopamine replacement therapy for 6 months.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Levodopa/carbidopa

Intervention Type DRUG

A dopamine precursor, was first developed for the treatment of PD in the 1960s and continues to be the most-effective therapeutic agent for PD

Fexofenadine group

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Levodopa/carbidopa

Intervention Type DRUG

A dopamine precursor, was first developed for the treatment of PD in the 1960s and continues to be the most-effective therapeutic agent for PD

Fexofenadine

Intervention Type DRUG

Fexofenadine is a second-generation antihistamine that does not penetrate the CNS and has the least CNS side effects among the second-generation antihistamines
