Nourianz Reviews: What are patients saying about Nourianz?
4Patient Review
8/18/2022 Nourianz is definitely helping me to make better use of Sinemet. However, the effects wear off pretty quickly and then I'm left feeling really lousy. Nausea has been a problem too, though I'm not sure if it's directly related to Nourianz or not.
2Patient Review
10/2/2022 We didn't see much benefit when we first started this treatment. The doctor increased the dosage from 20mg to 40mg, but the patient's condition worsened, so we had to go back to 20mg.In the six months the patient was on Nourianz, she went from being able to walk more than a mile (with a rollator) to being unable to leave her house at all. I gradually stopped the medicine over time, and now after one week without it, she is moving around again.
