What is Vyalev?
Vyalev (carbidopa and levodopa) is a prescription medication used to treat motor fluctuations in adults with advanced Parkinson's disease who are not well controlled on other medications. It is a continuous subcutaneous (under-the-skin) infusion of a carbidopa-levodopa gel administered through a small pump worn on the body. Vyalev is manufactured by AbbVie Inc. and provides a steady delivery of the medication to help reduce the "off" periods that occur when oral Parkinson's medications wear off between doses.
