A member asked:
What is the recommended amount of sinemet (carbidopa and levodopa) to be taken for parkinson's disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sinemet (carbidopa and levodopa): Sinemet (carbidopa and levodopa) is the most effective medication in the treatment of motor symptoms of pd. Dose varies from patient to patient. Is not usually my first line of therapy in young patients unless all other options have failed. Typically start on 25/100 three times a day and adjust depending on patient's needs and response. I have few patients on only 1/2 pill twice a day and many more on 16 pills a day.
