What is the maximum dosage per day for sinemet (carbidopa and levodopa) tablets?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable, but: In my experience, the maximum Sinemet (carbidopa and levodopa) dosing is the 25/250 tab four times daily, and if this seems to wear off, one can add Comtan (entacapone). Problem with going too high with L-DOPA is incidence of dyskinesias.
