Levodopa Cyclops - Dry Powder Inhaler - Brochure

Levodopa Cyclops™ is a levodopa dry powder inhaler for the fast and reliable relief of OFF episodes in Parkinson’s disease. As such, Levodopa Cyclops™ answers a major unmet medical need. Levodopa is the cornerstone in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease for well over 50 years. It is the most effective, safe and well tolerated drug available to this end. However, patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease invariably will encounter a major unmet medical need as the disease progresses: Patients in mid- and late-stage disease suffer from variable therapeutic efficacy, which results in periodic motor-fluctuations (ON and OFF episodes). Patients with acute OFF episodes need fast and reliable rescue therapy to be able to participate in daily activities. Currently available medication either has a slow or unpredictable onset of action or is poorly tolerated and uncomfortable to use.
