Original Title: Rotigotina en enfermedad de Parkinson
Authors' recommendations: CONCLUSIONS High-quality evidence suggests that rotigotine is better than placebo in managing Parkinson’s disease symptoms throughout the disease stages. Moderate-quality evidence suggests its effectiveness is comparable to that of other dopaminergic agonists in controlling symptoms and discontinuation rate. In general, Latin American health sponsors do not cover it. The health sponsors consulted from other countries and the clinical practice guidelines agree on considering it as another option comparable to other available dopaminergic agonists; some restrict its indication for patients to whom oral medication can not be administered or who have shown no response to other options, given its higher cost.
