Introduction: Recent studies have demonstrated an association between hypoglycemic medications and neuroprotective action in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD).

Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane for studies comparing the use of hypoglycemic drugs and placebo in patients with PD.

Article Synopsis
  • Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy can lead to serious complications, prompting the need for medication such as hydralazine and labetalol to lower blood pressure.
