Default What is it....

Duodopa is a continuous delivery system for levodopa that delivers the drug directly to the right part of the digestive system that absorbs it. It bypasses the stomach completely, and is in someways similar to the pump delivery systems used for diabetes or MS, but does entail an operation and an implant. (Please correct me if I have got this bit wrong)
