Leave for 2 hours to disperse.

Your dedication to detail is inspiring! Do you know of melevodopa (methyl ester of levodopa)? It is routinely used in Italy, produced by Chiesi Farmaceutici in Parma and called Sirio (a soluble form of L-dopa with carbidopa). In other words - fizzy Sinemet. It is reputed to cross the blood-brain barrier more rapidly than the standard formulation. Search pubmed.com using the keywords “Sirio” and “Parkinson’s Disease” for a couple of studies. The Italian website Unioni Parkinsoniani also has some information on Sirio. Google Translate can be used for a rough English translation. It’s not expensive but officially only available in Italy. Keep up the good work.
