When you say deteriorated, what do you mean? Is he experiencing increased dyskensia? It is not uncommon that the levodopa dose has to be lowered when COMTAN is taken because it increases the amount of levodopa that is absorbed. Ask your doctor to look into this. Sometimes the levodopa dose needs to be decreased by as much as 25%.
