The world-wide shortage of all forms of Sinemet® has been ongoing for some time.
We can now confirm that Sinemet® will continue to be in short supply until possibly December 2019. The shortage is due to a problem at the manufacturer’s level.
We will keep you updated as new information becomes available.

What's in a Support Group?
Parkinson’s WA offers 21 Support Groups for people with Parkinson’s, partners/carers and 55 Years and Under. We have 11 across the metropolitan area and 10 based in regional WA.
At these groups, our participants share their personal experiences, provide encouragement, comfort and advice. There are also opportunities to gather information on a range of subjects and to connect in with local services that can support you.
