there are no iv [intravenous] pd formulations available in the united states but iv lisuride and apomorphine are available in europe. in addition there is a levodopa gel that may be pumped into the stomach from a small feeding tube. better options may be pd medications that dissolve in the mouth. "parcopa" or carbidopa/levodopa odt is equivalent to swallowed versions of levodopa. zydis-selegiline is the same as selegiline. apomorphine may also be injected just under the skin up to 6 times per day.
can parkinson's disease medications be given by iv (intravenously)?
