Hi Yen--I just checked with Peter's pharmacist, and the generic Sinemet he
takes (carbidopa/levodopa)
is indeed made by Endo Pharmaceuticals. He has used them for years, and
has had no problems with them. The quality appears to be pretty stable--at
least we have not noticed any variations from one batch to another.
Perhaps this would be a solution for your father? Good luck!
P.S. have you considered joining the CARE list?
