Abstract

To date, pharmacological treatment of Parkinson’s disease has been symptomatic. Available agents serve to either increase striatal dopamine activity (e.g., levodopa, dopamine agonists, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, catechol-O-methyl transferase inhibitors and amantadine) or decrease acetylcholine activity. Orally disintegrating carbidopa/levodopa tablets provide bioequivalent carbidopa/levodopa in an alternative dosage form that patients prefer. The orally disintegrating tablets are useful for patients who cannot swallow a traditional oral tablet formulation and are convenient for those who do not have access to water when they need to take a dose of medication.
