Levodopa and Schizophrenia

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1970
To the Editor.— The use of levodopa (L-DOPA; dihydroxyphenylalanine) for the treatment of Parkinson's disease has been satisfactorily demonstrated in many cases when other therapeutic measures fail to act. It has been reported in the available literature 1,2 that the administration of levodopa might cause psychiatric symptoms (eg, hallucinations ...

Pharmacokinetics of levodopa

Journal of Neurology, 2010
This paper reviews the clinically relevant determinants of levodopa peripheral pharmacokinetics and main observed changes in the levodopa concentration-effect relationship with Parkinson's disease (PD) progression. Available clinically practical strategies to optimise levodopa pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are briefly discussed.

Is levodopa toxic?

Journal of Neurology, 2004
The objective of this workshop was to review and discuss the debate on neurotoxicity of levodopa in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) with consideration of preclinical and clinical findings. We concluded that in particular preclinical outcomes of in vitro models of neurodegeneration describe neurotoxic effects of levodopa, whereas trials in ...

Parkinsonism and levodopa

Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 1971
Based on the chemical constitution and metabolism of levodopa as well as on the effects of long‐term therapy in patients with parkinsonism, a hypothesis of pharmacologic activity which clearly differentiates it from conventional antiparkinsonian drugs is proposed.
