The US FDA just approved inhaled levadopa for “off” times
It is expected to be available by prescription in 1Q2019.
Do you experience “off” times? Does this therapy appeal to you?

would be great to have a “rescue “ inhaler. My PD meds just doesn’t cut it. Will insurances cover the cost? My mom was told about a pill that was approved for yet it would have cost her $300 for one script. And it wouldn’t extend her life. Just maybe help her cope better. Wasn’t worth the money. But I’m hopeful for this inhaler.

I dont have “off” times … yet. I always seem to be “off” LOL. As for your insurance question Ruthie, it depends on who your carrier is. I do believe if you are on a Medicare Part D drug plan; if drug is not on formulary, your Dr. can write a letter to provider to add it if your Dr. feels you need it. Worth talking to your Dr. about.
