Your neuro is correct. It takes 5 - 10 minutes for CVT-301 to become "effective". It can then last for at least an hour and possible longer (the trial was only designed to test effectiveness up to an hour after). CVT will be indicated (if and when approved) for the episodic treatment of "off" periods. This is a somewhat expanded indication than that of a rescue drug similar to apomorphine injections. The idea is to smooth the transitions between the on and off periods of normal treatment protocols.
