I wonder if foslevadopa/foscarbidopa will help with alot of the gut/digestive problems in PD as it is administered subcutaneously?

I for one am definitely going to try and get this once its available the unpredictability of orally taken meds isnt for me anyway a effective or accurate way of gauranteed medication relief. Especially around meal times and protein problems.
