Stalevo 75 is indicated for the following purposes:

Use and Dosage

Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose. Use the medicine exactly as directed.

Swallow the tablet whole and do not crush, chew, or break it.

Take only a single tablet at each dosing time. Do not take more than 1 tablet at a time or take a portion of a broken tablet. Combining more than one tablet or tablet portions may cause an overdose.

Take your doses regularly to keep a steady amount of the drug in your body. Ask your doctor about whether you should take Stalevo with or without food.

Tell your doctor if the effects of this medicine seem to wear off quickly in between doses.

Call your doctor if you are sick with vomiting or diarrhea, or if you are sweating more than usual. You can easily become dehydrated from vomiting or diarrhea. Drink plenty of liquids if you are ill.

Do not take any other medications for Parkinson’s disease that your doctor has not prescribed.

This medicine can affect the results of certain medical tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using Stalevo.

Do not stop using Stalevo suddenly, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to safely stop using this medicine.

Side Effects

This medication may cause saliva, urine, or sweat to turn a dark color. This effect is harmless, but your clothes may be stained.

To reduce the risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.

Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

Some people taking this medication have fallen asleep suddenly during their usual daily activities (such as talking on the phone or driving). In some cases, sleep occurred without any feelings of drowsiness beforehand. This sleep effect may occur anytime during treatment with this medication even if you have used this medication for a long time. If you experience increased sleepiness or fall asleep during the day, do not drive, or do other dangerous activities, until you have discussed this effect with your doctor. Your risk of this sleep effect is increased by using alcohol or other medications that can make you drowsy.

Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including new/worsening movements you can’t control/spasms, greatly increased eye blinking/twitching, diarrhea that doesn’t stop, vision changes (such as blurred vision), eye pain, severe stomach/abdominal pain, black/tarry stools, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, muscle pain/tenderness/weakness, signs of kidney problems (such as change in the amount of urine), mental/mood changes (such as confusion, agitation, hallucinations), signs of infection (such as sore throat that doesn’t go away), easy bleeding/bruising, unusual tiredness, tingling of the hands/feet, unusual strong urges (such as increased gambling, increased sexual urges).

Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including chest pain, or fainting.

Suddenly stopping or reducing the dose of this medication may rarely cause a very serious condition called neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). Get medical help right away if you have any of the following symptoms: fever, unusual muscle stiffness, severe confusion, sweating, fast/irregular heartbeat.

A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.

This is not a complete list of side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
