Has anyone tried Madapor Patches!

Hello Friends ,

Mum is finding it difficult to take Soluble Madopar. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with the Madopar Patches that stick onto the skin. I believe it is a different name to Madapor. I would appreciate any feedback if you have tried this type of patch.

Many Thanks

Madopar is a levodopa medication. There will never be a patch for levodopa medications because too much is needed to be able to be absorbed through the skin.

Oh I see.. I thought the neuro patch was the equivalent of Madopar! Wishful thinking!

You are probably thinking of Neupro patches which are dopamine agonists rather than L-dopa

Yes you are correct.. I am trying to work out how I can have Mum take the Madopar. She just doesn’t want to take it☹️ I thought there maybe a type of patch that was suitable.. but maybe not!

I think it is a little dementia and Mums combative behaviour!😒

I think levadopa medication can make dementia worse. My ex’s father had Lewy bodies and was never given levodopa.

Does she suck it or do you dissolve it in water? I just suck my dissolvable Madopar - really easy and easy to transport.

She drinks it in water..Mum has quite a defiant nature and if she doesn't want to take it she just wont..Very frustrating!!

Sorry, I can’t help to answer your question. I among high dose of Prolopa, which is the Canadian equivalent of Madopar, except it comes in Capsules, only. There are other answers about why there re o others.

I find to to be very good mediation. On a high dose I have no side effects at all, and I take no supplements and follow no special diet . I get my advice from a Movement Disorder Clinic, they have enormous experience, seeing hundreds of patients a ear.

That is interesting...I think capsules would be easier. I might as the Dr about this. Thank you very much!
