Levomed Indications/Uses

LEVOMED is indicated for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and syndrome. It is useful in relieving many of the symptoms of parkinsonism, particularly rigidity and bradykinesia. LEVOMED frequently is helpful in the management of tremor, dysphagia, sialorrhea, and postural instability associated with Parkinson's disease and syndrome.
When therapeutic response to Levodopa alone is irregular, and signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease are not evenly controlled throughout the day, substitution of LEVOMED usually is effective in reducing fluctuations in response.
By reducing certain adverse reactions produced by Levodopa alone, LEVOMED permits more patients to obtain adequate relief of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
LEVOMED is indicated for patients with Parkinson's disease and syndrome who are taking vitamin preparations that contain pyridoxine.
