Ya just got to laugh Shasha. That is why they call medicine a practice. Glad you are walking better.

Madopar contains Levodopa and Benserazide.

Benserazide is not (last time I heard) licensed for use n the US.

This chemical does the same job as Carbidopa in Sinemet so functionally Madopar and Sinemet are the same thing
