In advanced Parkinson's disease, oral medication can often no longer achieve sufficient therapeutic success. As one of the device aided therapies, the intrajejunal levo-dopa administration has been established as valuable treatment option. A modern form of the well-known intestinal levodopa pump offers the opportunity to continue the oral triple combination of levodopa, carbidopa and entacapone that many patients already use. Since February 2021 this modern option is available in Austria and Germany which also contains entacapone, whereby levo-dopa can be saved. In many other countries, including Hungary, approval is expected in the near future. The pump and cartridge are significantly smaller and lighter than in the LCIG pump which should improve the accep-tance of the therapy. The higher acceptance of the smaller pump and the improved user-friendliness has already been reported in an observational study from Sweden. The unwanted effects of entacapone have to be considered. |
