Brian,
The March 1998 issue of U.S. Pharmacist has a 16 page insert
by Roche Laboratories,340 King St,Nutley,NJ 07110-1199 entitled
"New Therapeutic Options for Parkinson's Disease"written by
Darrel J.Hulisz,Pharm.D..
It is stated there that the "maximum effective dosage" of carbidopa
is 100-125mg/day.
In your Living with Levadopa paper,Section 3.5,you give a "safe upper
limit" of 300mg/day.
Is there any contradiction here with regard to the effectiveness of raising
Sinemet dosages?
