Levodopa + Benserazide
Indications
Levodopa & benserazide is indicated for the treatment of all forms of Parkinson's syndrome with the exception of medicine-induced parkinsonism. Levodopa & benserazide dispersible is a formulation which is suitable for patients with dysphagia (difficulties in swallowing) or who require a formulation with a more rapid onset of action, e.g. patients suffering from early morning and afternoon akinesia, or who exhibit "delayed on" or "wearing off" phenomena. Levodopa & benserazide HBS is indicated for patients presenting with all types of fluctuations in response, especially those related to fluctuations in plasma levels (i.e. "peak dose dyskinesia" and "end of dose deterioration") and for better control of nocturnal symptoms. Further experience is required to determine whether it is also advantageous to use Levodopa & benserazide HBS in new Parkinson patients.
Contraindications
Renal impairment: Levodopa and benserazide are both extensively metabolised and less than 10% of levodopa is excreted unchanged through the kidneys. No dose reduction is therefore necessary in case of mild or moderate renal insufficiency. Pharmacokinetic data with levodopa in renal impaired patients are not available. This combination is well tolerated by uraemic patients undergoing haemodialysis. Hepatic impairment: Levodopa is mainly metabolised by the aromatic amino acid decarboxylase that is abundantly present in the intestinal tract, in the kidney and heart in addition to the liver. Pharmacokinetic data with levodopa in hepatic impaired patients are not available. Paediatric use: This combination is contraindicated in patients less than 30 years old
