Does Anybody Know What The Alternative Medication Would Be. If Sinemet No Longer Works? IM AT MY WITS END! THANKS
Hi Julie 👋
"What to do if carbidopa-levodopa does not work?
If the patient is (or is becoming) resistant to levodopa and prolonged administration does not improve symptoms, there are other drugs that can be used to treat the condition. Dopamine agonists and monoamine oxidise-B (MAO-B) inhibitors are the 2 most common classes of drugs used."
Even though I am adding this article I am not actually endorsing this.
May be worthwhile discussing this with the doctor
