Research Excerpts

Overview

Stalevo is a new levodopa product that combines carbidopa, levodOPA and entacapone in one tablet.

Treatment

Stalevo treatment resulted in significant improvements in PDQ-39 and UPDRS (II + III) scores. Treatment with Stalevo was compared to treatment with traditional immediate-release levodopa and dopa-decarboxylase inhibitor (DDCI)

Bioavailability

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
" In switching patients who are receiving levodopa/carbidopa controlled-release (CR), it should be noted that the bioavailability of levodopa from levodopa/carbidopa CR is approximately 70-75% that of levodopa/carbidopa IR products, including Stalevo."( Levodopa/carbidopa/entacapone (Stalevo).
