Apomorphine
What Is Apomorphine?
Apomorphine is a clinically utilized dopamine agonist—meaning it mimics the effects of dopamine in the brain—to help manage certain movement disorders and related symptoms. Most commonly prescribed for the treatment of motor fluctuations (“off” episodes) in Parkinson’s disease, apomorphine is available in injectable and sublingual formulations. At Premier Hormone Health & Wellness, we offer apomorphine as part of personalized therapy plans, integrating the latest best practices for patient-centered care.
Who Might Benefit From Apomorphine Therapy?
- Parkinson’s Disease Management: Individuals experiencing sudden, intermittent “off” episodes in Parkinson’s disease may benefit from apomorphine’s rapid symptom relief.
- Adjunctive & Emerging Uses: Research suggests potential uses in adjunctive therapies, including aspects of hormone optimization and sexual health. Ask your provider about individualized options. All treatments follow evidence-informed medical protocols.

How Apomorphine Therapy Works
Mechanism & Actions
Apomorphine acts by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, quickly improving movement symptoms or supporting other targeted wellness outcomes as determined by your care team. It is not an opioid and does not have opioid-like effects.
Dosage Forms Offered
Troches (2mg and 4mg): Dissolvable tablets placed in the cheek or under the tongue, offering a convenient, non-invasive alternative to injectable therapies. Designed for ease of use and fast-acting support when prescribed for appropriate cases.
All dosing and adjustment is guided by a licensed provider—never self-administer apomorphine without medical supervision.
