Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Initial foslevodopa infusion requires a gradual increase of dosage during the first weeks, when the initial dose is calculated based on published recommendations • Treatment optimization is achieved on average at a median of 12 weeks, but later in patients with higher body mass index. • The equivalent potency of foslevodopa to oral levodopa is reckoned to be 0.57 mg to 1 mg. • The treatment is well tolerated, but neuropsychiatric effects are more common than previously reported.
