What is the initial starting dose of carbidopa/levodopa, and what is the range of CD/LD formulations currently available for PD? Why does the eventual onset of motor fluctuations and “wearing off” observed over time present opportunities ...
What makes the scored, fractionated formulation of CD/LD different from other tablets and what group of patients should be considered appropriate candidates for treatment with this titratable treatment for PD?
What formulations for CD/LD are approved and available for PD, and for once a person with PD begins to experience significant “off time” on CD/LD. What is your approach to minimizing deterioration in clinical symptoms?
If you embark on a therapeutic transition from standard CD/LD to the scored, fractionable dosing formulation of CD/LD, exactly how do you advise or counsel the patient on a titration plan?
Can you summarize your current treatment algorithm for treating “off time?”
Can you summarize your current treatment algorithm for treating “off time?”
Can you share a person you have managed who has experienced increased “off time” and motor fluctuations with CD/LD who might be an ideal patient for treatment with titratable formulations, including those based on scored, fractionable doses of CD/LD?
Dr. Morgan, we’re pleased to have you presenting on this program on new advances and formulations of CD/LD with a special focus on “off time.” Can you provide us with a summary of topics you will cover on today’s CME program?
