      DUODOPA (levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel) is indicated for the treatment of advanced levodopa-responsive Parkinson’s disease with severe motor fluctuations and hyperkinesia or dyskinesia when available combinations of Parkinson medicinal products have not given satisfactory results.1

      Levodopa may activate malignant melanoma, so DUODOPA should not be used in patients with suspicious undiagnosed skin lesions or a history of melanoma.1

      Some patients may not be suitable for DUODOPA. You are strongly advised to read the Prescribing Information (PI) and Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC), accessible via the links above, to evaluate patient suitability.
