Each person has a different response to drugs containing L-dopa. This means:

  1. The amount of time it takes for the drug to take effect

  2. How long it lasts before beginning to wear off Monitoring of these intervals is essential for your doctor to be able to more precisely advise when to take each new dose so that you can smooth out the ‘on-off’ time.
