apomorphine
Apomorphine has some of the same effects as a chemical called dopamine, which occurs
naturally in your body. Low levels of dopamine in the brain are associated with Parkinson's disease.
Apomorphine is used to treat "wearing-off" episodes (muscle stiffness, loss of muscle control) in
people with advanced Parkinson's disease.
Apomorphine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
