Is It Advisable To Increase The Dosage Of Syndopa?

My father, aged 67 years, is taking Syndopa for the last 1.5 yrs. His symptoms of lethargy in muscles, getting tired easily, very slow movements of legs/arms is getting increased. He is taking currently 110mg of Syndopa everyday. Can we increase his dosage further, if yes then by how much?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Since his movements are slowing down then his medication may need an adjustment but this has been done after discussion with his doctor.

The medication should not be adjusted unless this is done.

The medication can also be used multiple times a day.

I hope this helps
