A cutting-edge skin patch, equipped with a miniature pump, administers a continuous 24-hour subcutaneous infusion of a therapy based on levodopa. My neurologist recommended this innovative approach as a more convenient alternative to managing our medication, eliminating the need for multiple pills throughout the day. Additionally, it is believed to reduce the risk of developing dyskinesia over time.

Let's see what happens!

I think will be released soon also in the US as the FDA rejected the approval last year just to get more information about the patch and AbbVie re-sent the application in May: formularywatch.com/view/fda...
