Entacapone/Carbidopa/Levodopa (marketed as Stalevo) Information

1. To substitute (with equivalent strength of each of the active ingredients) for immediate-release carbidopa/levodopa and entacapone previously administered as individual products.

2. To replace immediate-release carbidopa/levodopa therapy (without entacapone) when patients experience the signs and symptoms of end-of-dose "wearing-off" (only for patients taking a total daily dose of levodopa of 600 mg or less and not experiencing dyskinesias).
