My patient is scared of needles. What should I tell them, to encourage them to use APO-go CDS as part of their Parkinson’s disease medication?
APO-go uses a very small, fine needle that only goes into the subcutaneous fatty layer of the skin, i.e. just under the skin. It should be highlighted to patients, that APO-go does not use longer, intramuscular or intravenous needles, such as those used for vaccinations. CDS is currently considered the best therapeutic option in PD. This is supported by both experimental studies and clinical evidence. Continuous infusion of medication is the most rapid and efficient way of delivering a drug and ensures constant and consistent control. Absorption issues seen with oral medication are avoided. ‘Set and forget’ aspect of APO-go CDS Pump can aid patient compliance to anti-parkinsonian medication, ensuring optimal treatment.
