My husband has DBS and was given Stalevo 100 mg x 6 with supplement 100 mg Levocar for the night along with Quick mite 50 mg I find that he cannot stand Levocar and that Madopark Depå that he took before had no effect at all He has started getting hallucinations and delusions so the dose of Stalevo has been reduced to night Some doses were 125 mg and 200 mg Levocar tn. about 3 weeks after DBS was operated on in 2017 the diagnosis he got 2005 Can he take extra Stalevo 50 mg sometimes instead of Quick mite 50 mg (the doctor warns for Quick mite because he has had a heart attack 6 years ago so dares to take only 3 tabs/day He is very good idea now to take away T Tab Levocar

It can be difficult to balance the dose against hallucinations. Preferably, he should get enough Stalevo to treat rigidity and it is not certain that the higher dose will worsen the hallucinations. If you use 50 mg Stalevo, it is about 65 to 70 mg Madopark, but with a little “latence” with time to effect. Both Stalevo and Madopark contain levodopa and it does not matter what kind of heart you use. If you use extra Stalevo, it will be an unnecessary dose of the COMT inhibitor enthacapone, so it is better to take Madoprop as “extrados” if you already use six doses of Stalevo.
