The dopaminergic drugs include the following:

A: Levodopa drugs: such as levodopa and madopar

B: Dopamine releasing agents (DRAs), such as amantadine and memantine

C: Dopamine agonists, such as piribedil and pramipexoleD: MAO-B inhibitors,such as selegiline

E: Catechol-O-methyl transferase(COMT) inhibitors: such as entacapone and tolcapone
