Dr. Karunapuzha on How to Take Levodopa for Parkinson's and Why 

Many thanks for sharing this info.

Thank you so much. This video has been more informing than the neurologist I have been seeing for a year. -_-

Thank you Dr, for a clear easy understanding explanation 👍👏

This is clear, practical advice. Thank you, Dr K

Dear Sir, I have been suffering from parkinson deases from a long time.when I write ,my fingers are troubling.I have take many medicines but do not cure at all.Do I cure it any way ?please help me .

This has been extremely helpful. Thank you.

its been 7years with pd. from the 1st appt I told the dr i was very constipated , he never once acknowledged my bowels. Im so fustrated with the information and no support for pd within 200km

Would it be even more efficient to add zinc methinone, p-5-p, magnesium taurate and ester-C to the levodopa? (Question referring to both people with and without the disease) And if yes what would be the ideal dosages? And at what time is optimal compared to your meals and the l-dopa?

Thank you. This told me more than my neurologist.

Very helpful and informative! Thanks

In Parkinson. Urin. Problem Remidi. Of. This problem

Great help in explaining things. 😊👍✨

Your approach to the problem of choosing the right timte for eating and taking Levodopa is absolutely convincing. You stop the necessary information halfways on the right way, although and in the end come up with wrong conclusions. To do it right you must keep en eye on the timae and mass of proteins. Not only the proteins are to be watched, too much fat keeps the stomach closed for the inlet into the minor intestine. A fat cheeseburger or a luscious steak keep the entrance into the intestines shut and levadopa cannot be digested and transported to th brain. A perfect time to sstart the day with 1 portion of levadopa is the morning after a regular sleeping period. This is the time for your proposed:After taking good glass of water, because then the stomach will be empty for sure. After the consumption of levidopa onto the empty stomach it is also indispesable to watch not t mingle the pill with proteinrich food - just as you describe vory well in this video. I am strikken by Parkinson since appr. 20 years, 82 yrs of age. Most of my life I was practicing lawyer and developer of ways to better the Serotonin level . I followed the reprts of some thousans users of food products that I developed in this interest (onto the empty stomach, naturally). Also I wroe two books on Serotonin and weight control (in German). I am looking forard for your answer. Best regards. Rolf Ehlers, 41143 Jüchen, Germany..

Hi Dr thanks.can a PD patient survive wit out taking treatment wit levodopa?

Gastroparesis/slow gastric emptying is another PD issue that messes with getting the pills to the small intestine.

Very clear explanation of Levodopa consumption and its assimilation. I will work harder at making sure I stay regular. Will return to a regiment of Metamucil and proper hydration. Thanks

Such a great message - the WHOLE video!

Thank you so much! I take on a empty stomach and wait to eat. I just started taking 4 weeks yesterday. ✨🙌🏽 flaxseed helps with back up.

What if you take Leva-dopa like an enema or a suppository? I would seriously like an answer to this question. What if it is taken without protein. PS It seems that I am starting Parkinson’s. In the testing process to confirm or deny but it doesn’t look promising.

Very precise and informative.you cleared many of my doubts for my mom's condition.

Best explanation I have heard!

Don't know if this was mentioned but hormones provided by female parts like the uterus protect a little against artritis.

Thanks best

Clearest explanation, thank you

Great video. The Dr. spoke to us not at us in basic terminology.👍

Thank you!! Very helpful explanation

Inbrija is great for off periods

My father has been suffering in Parkinson disease from last 8 month, Now he can't eating and speaking, What will be the best treatment for him

O

Informative and helpful. But very hard to practice when you have both IBD and Parkinson's.

Hello, Would like to ask if Madopar can be taken 15minutes before and 15minutes after the prescribed time? Thanks.

I thought levadopa went straight to the brain and not the gut, through the bloodstream. Also, no matter how much fibre or laxative I take I never have consistent bowel movements and never had in my entire life , from birth onwards.

Please keep the Mic close to your mouth cannot hear on taking levodopa

Which Syndopa is strong dose. Syndopa cr 125mg or Syndopa plus 125 mg

I understood everything he said and it makes total sense ❤😊

Thank you I understand so much better now.

How long (hour)can work levodopa?

thank u for the elaboration on this important subject!

Good.Gives me hope to continue my lifestyle comfortably.

One hour before meals 2 absorb first

Great informacion thanks alot

Not enough volume.

Does this medication help with head tremors?

My current, (soon not to be) neurologist told me when I asked about taking my carb/lev with food that, “ It makes little difference whether you take it with food or not” Thanks

He’s great

Thank you doctor for the clear understanding of the medication

That was very nice of you to explain it in detail.

Power of prayer

THANK YOU! Levodopa makes me violently vomit, to exhaustion. We uped the carbidopa which helped but not always. I thought taking it with food would be better. I will try water and pill.

Wow. FINALLY someone who gives a clear answer to my questions!! Thanks!!!

If someone have symptoms of tremor in one hand, slurring of speech, constiparion, masked face What will be the diagnosis?? Is it parkinson disease? What will treatment ??? Is carbidopa / levodopa before or after meal????

Seriously clear explanation on taking the med and daily clearing of stomach to see the result. Tq Dr.
