The effectiveness of Sinemet (Levodopa/Carbidopa) can vary from person to person. Generally, it is considered the most effective treatment for the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease and some types of Parkinsonism. However, over time, the medication may become less effective, and its effects may wear off sooner, resulting in "off" times. When this happens, doctors may recommend adjustments or additional treatments. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
