Duopa anyone?
My husband's neurologist has recommended he get a
Duopa
pump. His C/L meds don't work as well anymore (lots of 'off time') so this is the next option.

Vyalev, steady levodopa/carbidopa infusion, now available in Canada
“This new therapy builds on our remarkable legacy with Duodopa [a gel, marketed as
Duopa
in the U.S., for continuous delivery of levodopa/carbidopa into the small intestine] and is proof of our longstanding commitment to people living with Parkinson’s disease and their care partners in Canada,” Fayed

High dose B1 therapy using Duopa pump
From a dosing perspective, I don’t know how a shot of Vitamin B1 translates to a comparable amount taken through the
Duopa
pump. Any thoughts on this are appreciated.

The Legacy DuoDopa Pump
I have used the
Duopa
system for the past 5 years. While my symptom improvement was clear, with time the entire system, even at its FDA approval was antiquated and (in my opinion) it has been a disappointment with its clumsy ergonomics.

Have Questions about Duopa
Can anyone with
Duopa
tell me about their first experience and how long it took before the dose was regulated properly. I don't think my brother will tolerate a "process" that feels like torture in order to get the dose right. Thanks in advance.

Elderly advanced Parkinson's treatment options
He is currently on the
Duopa
Pump which regulates the Levidopa/bypasses the gut, supposedly being more effective. However, since he's had the pump, since March 2020, there have been numerous complications in conjunction with the disease progressing.

Duopa pump and my day at work

2019: Will Medicare Cover Parkinson's ?
Coverage for Parkinson’s Disease Procedures The two most commonly used procedures for managing Parkinson’s disease are deep brain stimulation and
Duopa
therapy. Both of these procedures require surgery, one being more invasive than the other.

My husbands medicine isn't working like it used to....
My husbands medicine is not helping him the way it used to so his neurologist recommends getting the
Duopa
pump which puts the medicine directly into his small intestine. Does anyone have this?

Duopa pump treatment for PD
My hubby takes a 25/250 carbidopa/levadopa every other hour. It is hard to keep on time everytime. His doctor wants him to think about the pump that puts med into the small intestine. Anyone have one? What does it cost a year to use? What is it like for you to wear and maintain? Any side effect

Duopa pump
My fellow Parkie's, I went to my neuro yesterday and he told my about the
Duopa
pump and how successful it has been. It essentially pumps a steady stream of Sinimet through a feeding tube placed in your stomach and into your small intestine.
