A Proven Drug in a New Delivery System

Welcome to http://PARCOPA.com, a website designed to provide patients and
their healthcare professionals with information about Parkinson's disease
and PARCOPATM (carbidopa-levodopa orally disintegrating tablets).

PARCOPA benefits from the innovative RapiTabTM technology.
These orally disintegrating tablets dissolve rapidly on the tongue.
They can be taken any time, anywhere with or without water.

PARCOPA has all the benefits of carbidopa-levodopa in an orally dissolving
formulation.

If you are currently taking Sinemet® (carbidopa-levodopa) Tablets, you
should know that PARCOPA is a therapeutic alternative to Sinemet® Tablets.
It is available in the same strengths as Sinemet® Tablets. Your doctor can
prescribe PARCOPA using the same dosing and
administration schedules as Sinemet® Tablets.

This site is not intended to take the place of your healthcare professional.
He or she is always your best source of information. Ask your doctor if
PARCOPA is right for you.

Each 10/100 mg and 25/100 mg tablet contains phenylalanine 3.4 mg;
each 25/250 mg tablet contains phenylalanine 8.4 mg.
[ That's 6.8 and 16.8 mg aspartame, about 20 % and 50% of a pack of Equal,
37 mg aspartame. ]

Most common side effects with PARCOPA include involuntary
movements and nausea.
