We are pleased to share the BC Pharmacare announcement that Duodopa is now listed on formulary effective Dec. 10, 2020, which means there will no longer be a cap on the number of BC Duodopa patients per year. The BC criteria for access to Duodopa is now similar to other provinces.<\/p>\n

Treatments like this are a primary focus of our upcoming webinar, Progressing Parkinson\u2019s Disease \u2013 A discussion on Device Aided Therapies<\/em>. You can register to attend this webinar<\/a>, which takes place on Dec. 14, 2020.<\/p>\n

From a press release by the Parkinson Society British Columbia:<\/p>\n

\nBritish Columbia\u2019s Ministry of Health has announced today that they have removed the yearly limit on the number of British Columbians who can receive Duodopa\u00ae therapy. Previously, BC PharmaCare only covered five individuals per year for this therapy, resulting in a two-year waitlist for Parkinson\u2019s patients experiencing debilitating symptoms.<\/p>\n

Duodopa\u00ae is used to treat patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease who have severe and disabling motor symptoms that cannot be well controlled with available combinations of medications. It is a levodopa and carbidopa drug combination delivered in the form of a gel through an intestinal pump.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
