Levodopa is a naturally occurring amino acid that is used in combination drugs (along with carbidopa or carbidopa and entacapone) to treat patients with Parkinson's disease and dopamine-responsive dystonia. Drug formulations that include levodopa are marketed as tablets, oral inhalators, and patches. Levodopa was discovered as a treatment for Parkinson's disease by Arvid Carlsson, which later earned him a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Currently, levodopa and carbidopa combination drugs represent the largest segment of Parkinson's disease medications globally and are included on the World Health Organisation's list of Essential Medicines that contain the safest and most effective drugs recommended for a health system. The largest supplier of levodopa drugs is Roche, whose products Madopar and Neupro account for the highest share of the market. However, major pharmaceutical product suppliers such as Pfizer, Merck & Co., Novartis, and Teva have also launched their trade name medications with levodopa. The main generics manufacturers and suppliers such drugs are Mylan, Accord, and Sun Pharmaceuticals. The incidence of Parkinson's disease is projected to rise over the coming years. For example, according to the European Parkinson's Disease Association, the number of patients in Europe is expected to double by 2030. And as pharmaceutical manufacturers continue to invest in developing new formulations of drugs for this indication, the growth of the levodopa market is expected to accelerate.
