• Abstract:

  Background
  Although duodenal infusions may produce enhance absorption, subsequent bioavailability and constant plasma concentration of levodopa, it is invasive. Oral delivery is convenient and non-invasive. However, erratic plasma concentrations of levodopa are obtained. A formulation with a near zero order release was developed for oral delivery..
