The most prominent adverse event of long term administration of levodopa and dopamine receptor agonist are motor fluctuation, levodopa induced dyskinesias and psychotic side effects. Authors in the article describe the patophysiology of motor fluctuation and levodopa induced dyskinesias in the patients with Parkinson’s disease treated by dopaminergic medication.
