Members responded to the question about whether there is a patch for carbidopa/levodopa, with many sharing that while a direct C/L patch does not yet exist, there are alternatives available. Several members mentioned Neupro (rotigotine), a transdermal patch changed every 24 hours, with one member sharing it helped manage many Parkinson's symptoms though tremors and rigidity were still present, and another noting skin irritation as a drawback. A recurring theme was encouragement to speak with a doctor about patch options, with the original poster wrapping up by saying they would ask their doctor.

Thanks everybody....I'll ask my doc, even for a few years it would be nicer than the pills.

Yes, there are a few different types of patches that can deliver carbidopa and levodopa, a standard treatment for Parkinson's disease: Google it because there are several kinds.
