Suggest The Dosage Of Syndopa For A 75-year-old Female

This is an urgent question to the neurologists : My 75 years old mother suffers from Parkinsons Disease since 2008. Her Syndopa Plus 100 + 25mg dose has recently been increased (following hospitalisation) from 7.5 tabs to 10 tabs per day (each dose is 2 tabs five times a day). In addition she also takes Syndopa CR 125mg one tab 2 times a day (1 morning & 1 at night). Ever since she keeps swinging her legs keep in the air and her breathing/speech is heavy. Could you please tell me if the recommended dose is too much for her.

Hi,

Asthma with lot of watery phlegm indicates inflammation of airways can be irritation of airway by a long-standing allergy.

Use of preventing inhalers would help. Drink lot of warm water & be well hydrated. Consult asthma specialist to prescribe suitable spray for you.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
