If I undestood correctly :

1. Madepar capsules do NOT have bensenrazide.They are pure levodpa.

2. You take daily about 1000 mg of levodopa.Is'nt too much ?


Here in Brazil it is found a med under the name of Prolopa250(200 mg of
levvodopa + 50 mg of bessenrazide) in tablets.There are'nt tablets of
pure levodopa.
