Abstract

Dyskinesias secondary to L-dopa often appear similar to Huntington`s disease and to the tardive dyskinesias that are associated with prolonged use of phenothiazines. Pyridoxine can reverse dyskinesias and benefits of L-dopa.

The author concludes that pyridoxine does not ameliorate these two conditions.
