Hi Dr.Achyutpatil,

I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.
If you would have presented to me as an outpatient with this medical history,I would have advised you to start Syndopa 125 mg twice a day(initially) and then escalating the dose frequency gradually depending on the clinical improvement.
Though, another approach can be to increase the RASALECT dose and frequency & observe for the response.But,at the age of 64,preferred approach would be to put you on Levodopa/carbidopa.
