      Staubo, Sara C.; Fuskevåg, Ole Martin; Toft, Mathias; Lie, Ingeborg H.; Alvik, Kirsti Margrete Johansen; Jostad, Pål; Tingvoll, Stein H.; Lilleng, Hallvard; Rosqvist, Kristina; Størset, Elisabet; Odin, Per; Dietrichs, Espen; Dietrichs, Erik Sveberg (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-13)
      Background and purpose: Impulse control disorders (ICDs) are common among Parkinson's disease patients using dopamine agonists. We wanted to determine whether ICD patients have higher dopamine agonist serum concentrations than those without any sign of ICD.<p> <p>Methods: Patients who used either pramipexole or ropinirole depot once daily were screened for ICDs using the validated Questionnaire ...

    • Pro-arrhythmic effect of escitalopram and citalopram at serum concentrations commonly observed in older patients – a study based on a cohort of 19,742 patients

It is unclear why they are cardiotoxic and at what serum concentrations patients are at risk for arrhythmias. Thus, how many patients that ...
