Showering, bathing or engaging in water activities
VYALEV® (foslevodopa/foscarbidopa) can be interrupted for brief periods of time, such as when taking a shower.
- Make sure to change your infusion set (tubing and cannula) and rotate to a different infusion site if you interrupt the infusion for longer than 1 hour.
- For interruptions longer than 3 hours, you may need to also self-administer a loading dose to quickly re-establish your symptom control.
For more information on how to disconnect and reconnect to your pump, refer to the Administration Guide.
