Daear PIEnet members, Nigel writes (below) about wonderful, DISPERSIBLE Madopar. How can we as a large number of voices ask Dupont to produce a FAST-ABSORBING Sinemet? If it can be done for Madopar, how about for Sinemet? Or its generic compe- tition? Is that Atamet? Does anyone know one of the more influential people at Dupont?

NIgel had written the day before, as well, about Madopar's kick-in time, as follows: To: [log in to unmask] Date: Thu, 2 Dec 1999 13:15:29 Subject: Fluctuating Response Times re Madopar Hi, Here is a possible helpful hint for Madopar users amongst us. I had recently been experiencing ever more variable response times to my Madopar, which I took in capsule form, 187.5 mg 3 times a day.Response times varying between 30 minutes to one hour, with associated dyskenesia and cramping of my feet and toes also increasing. Having recently read that Madopar was now available in Dispersible form I mentioned this to my Neuro' and we agreed that it would be worth a try. I am pleased to be able to say that the results of the changeover have been all I could have hoped for, response times down to 15-20 minutes without fail, kicking in quickly with minimal discomfort. The tablets come in 125 mg and are scored so they can be cut,
