According to many studies, sprouted fava beans are a rich source of levo-dihydroxy phenylalanine (L-dopa) the precursor of dopamine, and they are now being investigated for use in the management of Parkinson's disease. The addition of Carbidopa (C-dopa) can reduce

Levodopa remains the mainstay treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD). Chronic treatment is associated with motor complications (MC) that marred the clinical benefit of levodopa. These problems and experimental data in cell cultures indicating a neurotoxic effect of levodopa have led

Levodopa (LD) remains the most effective medication to treat Parkinson's disease (PD). However, most patients develop motor fluctuations and dyskinesias with long-term LD use. It is thought that these response complications are due, at least in part, to LD's short

Parkinson's disease patients treated chronically with levodopa often develop fluctuations in motor response. Motor fluctuations can be attributed in part to oscillating plasma levodopa concentrations. A controlled-release formulation containing 200 mg of levodopa and 50 mg of carbidopa provides superior
