Matching is lexical and uses one held product label per generic; formulations and qualifying criteria may differ. No displayed matched alternative is a general benefit. BROMOCRIPTINE · Listed, not a benefit (2), General benefit (2)  Parkinson’s Disease: BROMOCRIPTINE is effective when used as adjunct therapy to levodopa in the symptomatic management of Parkinson’s Disease. Used concomitantly with levodopa, bromocriptine facilitates the use of lower doses of levodopa in early disease and attenuates the rate of increase in the levodopa dosages on long-term usage. In this way the risk of long– term complications such as prominent dyskinesias and/or end-of-dose failure can be reduced.

What the Health Canada label says it is for
1 INDICATIONS APO-LEVOCARB (levodopa and carbidopa tablets) is indicated for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. APO-LEVOCARB is not recommended for the treatment of drug-induced extrapyramidal reactions. 1.1 Pediatrics Pediatrics (< 18 years of age): The safety and effectiveness of levodopa and carbidopa in pediatric patients has not been established; therefore, Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use. 1.2 Geriatrics Geriatrics (>65 years of age): Evidence from clinical studies and experience with levodopa and carbidopa combinations suggest that use in the geriatric population is not associated with differences in safety or effectiveness (see 4.2 Recommended Dose and Dosage Adjustment, Geriatrics). https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00076848.PDF PM date: AUG 27, 2024 Source product: APO-LEVOCARB; DIN 02195933; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.

INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE STALEVO® (levodopa, carbidopa and entacapone) is indicated to treat patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease: • To substitute for immediate-release levodopa/carbidopa and entacapone previously administered as individual products. • To replace immediate-release levodopa/carbidopa therapy (without entacapone) when patients experience the signs and symptoms of end of dose "wearing off" (only recommended when patients are taking a total daily dose of levodopa of 600 mg or less and not experiencing dyskinesias, see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). Geriatrics: No adjustment of STALEVO dosage is necessary in elderly patients. Pediatrics (< 18 years of age): Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.

Other review policies

For Sinemet CR, Sinemet: no applicable EAP criteria are held and no ODB benefit is established. These policies do not establish coverage.

For rare, immediately life-, limb- or organ-threatening circumstances, the Compassionate Review Policy may consider an unfunded drug or indication, subject to its criteria and without bypassing the drug review process. Compassionate Review Policy

Compassionate Review Policy: source quote
Where there are rare clinical circumstances in immediately life, limb, or organ-threatening conditions, the Executive Officer will also consider requests for drugs or indications in situations where there has not been a decision by the Executive Officer to provide funding of the drug or indication as part of the Ontario Drug Benefit program (and the EAP), and the drug or indication requested would not circumvent the established review process for new drugs or indications as part of the drug submission process for listing within the Ontario Drug Benefit program. Requests must meet the criteria for the Compassionate Review Policy.

For cancer drugs, Case-by-Case Review considers rare, immediately life-threatening circumstances when no satisfactory funded treatment exists; its criteria and application process apply. Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs)

Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs): source quote
Note: Requests for cancer drugs are considered under the Case-by-Case Review Program (CBCRP) which is administered by Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario) on behalf of the Ministry of Health. The CBCRP considers funding requests for drugs (both oral therapies and injectable drugs) for the treatment of cancer in patients who have a rare clinical circumstance that is immediately life-threatening (death is likely within a matter of months) and who require treatment with an unfunded drug, because there is no other satisfactory and funded treatment. Please refer to the Ontario Health website for information on the application process, FAQs, eligibility criteria and program policies.
