TABLE 2.

Levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD) calculation. For drugs containing levodopa and other active components (e.g., carbidopa), we report the levodopa amount only.

Subject ID Drug Daily Dose (mg) Conversion Factor LED (mg) Total, LEDD (mg)
1 Stalevo 375 1.33 499 699
Rasagiline 1 100 100
Amantadine 100 1 100
2 Rytary 170 0.6 102 602
Pramipexole 3 100 300
Amantadine 200 1 200
4 Stalevo 550 1.33 732 852

6 Sinemet 200 1 200 275
Sinemet CR 100 0.75 75
7 Sinemet 300 1 300 300

We also show the conversion factors that lead to the LED calculation following Tomlinson et al. (2010) guidelines. Subject 3 is not reported since not currently treated with levodopa, dopamine agonists or other dopamine-interacting drugs.
