Malcom,
Unfortunately, if your mother has had a poor response to Sinemet, she
will not likely respond to Madopar.  This is assuming that she has been
on sinemet doses of up to 1000mg per day and has not responded well.
Madopar (levodopa/benserazide) is the Roche product which is similar to
Sinemet (levodopa/carbidopa) made by DuPont Merck.
