Apomorphine pump therapy is used to treat Parkinson’s disease. Apomorphine is a dopamine agonist that stimulates dopaminergic receptors in the brain, thereby relieving Parkinson’s symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In association with apomorphine pump therapy, nodules (lumps) may appear at the injection site in some cases. These nodules can form in response to repeated injections of the drug. These are local skin reactions. But sometimes nodules can also cause pain, redness, or swelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to reduce the risk of nodules, it is important to change the injection site regularly and to ensure that the injection technique is correct. The exact procedure for avoiding nodules should be discussed with the attending physician or the attending PD nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comfrey Ointment is aherbal ointment made from the comfrey plant and has anti-inflammatory properties. It is commonly used to relieve muscle and joint pain and to promote wound healing. Comfrey can also bring relief against the nodules described above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apply the comfrey ointment gently to the skin nodules and gently massage them in with light pressure with your fingertips. It is best to leave the cream in the fresh air for a while before covering the area with clothing. Before inserting a new catheter needle, the ointment should be well absorbed at this injection site. Regular use is recommended for best results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
