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.

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...
