Overview
Brief Summary
The objective is to compare the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of IPX054 and carbidopa-levodopa immediate-release tablets in subjects with idiopathic Parkinson's disease who are currently being treated with a stable regimen of carbidopa-levodopa immediate-release tablets.
Detailed Description
IPX054 contains two different drugs called levodopa and carbidopa in one tablet. * levodopa turns into a material called 'dopamine' in your brain. The dopamine helps to improve the symptoms of your Parkinson's disease. * carbidopa belongs to a group of medicines called 'aromatic amino acid decarboxylase inhibitors'. It helps levodopa work more effectively by slowing the speed at which levodopa is broken down in your body.
