Review recap

DrugsDisclosed has gathered medical insights from 20 real-world patients taking Levodopa. These patients are from different countries, lifestyles and healthcare systems, their unifying characteristic is the medicine they take.

20 patients taking Levodopa were asked how effective they found their medicine. Luckily 60% responded very positively about Levodopa reporting that they were very / extremely effective, while 30% reported that they felt Levodopa was only somewhat effective for them. Finally 10% of the patients asked reported that Levodopa had only a slight or very little effect for them.

We asked 20 patients taking Levodopa just how bothered they were by side effects? 85% of those we asked this too reported feeling they were not at all or only slightly bothered by side effects, yet 10% of patients asked said they felt somewhat bothered from Levodopa. This leaves 5% of the patients we asked who were using Levodopa still felt very or extremely bothered from side effects when they were taking Levodopa.
