What do you do to relieve postural hypotension?
Rise slowly from a sitting or recumbent posture. Postural hypotension occurs when some people stand or sit up suddenly. The effect of gravity causes a sudden decrease in the amount of blood in the brain and the individual may feel dizzy or faint, or temporarily lose vision. But getting up more slowly allows the body to compensate for gravity & eliminates these symptoms.

How to avoid giving levodopa in high dose to Parkinson's patients?
Although levodopa can cross our BBB, but it will be decarboxylated to dopamine peripherally before reaching our CNS - only small amount of Levodopa will be left and available to pass our BBB.So, instead of giving levodopa in high dose (which can cause lots of side effects), we give levodopa with peripheral decarboxylase inhibitors (e.g. carbidopa, benserazide) which can inhibit decarboxylation of levodopa in GIT and peripheral tissues. (By combining levodopa and peripheral decarobxylase inhibitors, we will have less side effects too)
