Is there a form of Carbidopa levodopa that does not have aspartame in it?

The only reference I could find is the oral disintegrating tablets contain aspartame. I don’t think other forms of the generics I’ve taken contain it. I often chew my tablets and I certainly can’t taste it.

Hi Juliegrace For me was terrible the secondary effects. Tremors increased. Kicking of the legs painful joints it was a very bad experience !

I hope are going to fell good but I personally don’t think it’s a good medicine.

Yes carb/lev has those side effects for some people but you won't find anything better.
