Abstract

Pimavanserin is not curative, but can improve the quality of life remaining for the person with Parkinson's disease who typically has been suffering from this relentless neurodegenerative disease for years. Using pimavanserin effectively requires knowledge not only about the product itself, but also about the treatments pimavanserin is replacing.
