It has been reported that some people with Parkinson’s, RLS and related conditions taking dopamine agonists have faced ruined finances, family breakdown, dangerous impulse control disorders, physical decline, misdiagnosis of vascular dementia and, in some cases, criminal proceedings. Many were never warned or properly reviewed. The media have been investigating the issue, but an inquiry could examine the evidence in full, review prescribing and warning standards, and help protect patients in future.
