What is Zyprima 3 (Apomorphine HCL) used for?

Zyprima 3 (Apomorphine Hydrochloride) is an oral medication used to treat patients with Parkinson`s disease. It operates by boosting dopamine levels in the brain to prevent symptoms associated with this condition such as stiff movements, loss of muscle control, or difficult movement. It may also be useful for treating men with erectile dysfunction. Your doctor may recommend its use for other unlisted conditions, as well.

How should I use Zyprima 3 (Apomorphine HCL)?

Zyprima 3 (Apomorphine HCL) should be used strictly according to your doctor`s instructions to ensure the most effective results from treatment. One tablet is normally taken once or twice daily for the treatment of Parkinson`s disease, but your individual instructions will depend on your age, weight, health condition, and the severity of your symptoms. One tablet is normally administered twenty to thirty minutes before expected sexual activity to allow it to begin operating. These should be swallowed with a full cup of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a meal or snack is suggested prior to use if you experience nausea. Do not chew, split, or crush the tablets to avoid unintentionally destroying or altering the effects of their contents. Ask your pharmacist or doctor any questions you have about the medication to ensure the correct usage.
