Ron:
Re: adverse effects of carbidopa . . .
   You recently posted some info on carbidopa and its
combination with levodopa to enhance the availability of
levodopa to the brain. . .  and suggested:
"I do believe there is a need to study the potential problem of
over-dosing with carbidopa."
   What about the pharmadynamics of Benserazide?  This is
the ingrediant in Madopar (used outside U.S.A.) insted of
carbidopa.  Is the optimum dose the same - 70 to 100 mg
per day?  Is there any clinical data?
