Juvmo

Warnings and Precautions

Juvmo has no boxed warning and no contraindications in the US label. The main risks below are common to medicines that raise dopamine activity in the brain.

Low blood pressure on standing

Juvmo can lower blood pressure, mostly when the dose is being increased. In the study with levodopa, 8% of patients had a drop in blood pressure on standing (orthostatic hypotension), against 2% on placebo. Get up slowly from sitting or lying down. Dizziness, sweating, nausea, falls or fainting should be reported.

Hallucinations and confusion

Seeing or hearing things that are not there was reported in 3% of patients without levodopa and 7% with levodopa (placebo: 0% and 1%). The risk is higher in people aged 65 and over, and when Juvmo is taken with medicines that strongly block the CYP3A enzyme. Doctors weigh the risks carefully in people with a major psychotic illness.

Unusual urges (impulse control problems)

Some people on Parkinson's medicines, including Juvmo, develop strong urges to gamble, shop, eat or have sex that they cannot control. Patients may not notice this themselves, so family members should tell the doctor about any new behaviour. Lowering the dose or stopping the medicine may help.

Involuntary movements (dyskinesia)

Juvmo can cause new dyskinesia or make existing dyskinesia worse. This was seen in 10% of patients taking it with levodopa, against 2% on placebo. The doctor may lower the dose of Juvmo or of the other Parkinson's medicines.

Interactions with other medicines

The body clears tavapadon mainly through CYP3A, an enzyme in the liver. Some antifungal, epilepsy and HIV medicines, and the herbal product St John's Wort, can raise or lower its level a great deal. With some of these the dose is taken only every 3 or every 7 days; with others the dose is split across the day; with strong inducers, use together is not recommended. Juvmo can also change the levels of some other medicines. Always show the full medicine list to the doctor and pharmacist.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and children

There are no adequate data on Juvmo in pregnancy, and it is not known if it passes into breast milk. A woman who is pregnant, hopes to conceive or is nursing a baby should discuss this with the neurologist first. Juvmo is not approved for children.

Common side effects

Without levodopa: nausea (27%), headache (17%), dizziness (14%), tiredness (10%), change in taste (8%), vomiting (7%), dry mouth and anxiety (5% each). With levodopa: nausea, dyskinesia, dizziness, headache, hallucinations and low blood pressure on standing. Most people who stopped because of side effects did so while the dose was being built up. Other side effects are possible.

How to Get Juvmo in India: Step by Step

No Indian chemist stocks Juvmo yet, so each supply is brought in for a single, named patient. Treatment begins with a 40-day titration pack and then continues every day on one fixed strength, so the very first order has to cover both stages.

Step 1: Send us the neurologist's plan

We need the prescription showing two things: the titration pack to start with, and the maintenance tablet (5 mg, 10 mg or 15 mg) along with how many months it is planned for.

Step 2: Our pharmacist reviews the papers

A registered pharmacist on our team goes through the prescription, the neurologist's Parkinson's diagnosis and the patient's identity proof. If any paper is missing or unclear, we flag it before going further.

Step 3: Written quote

You get one written figure for the Juvmo cost in India: the titration carton, the 30-tablet maintenance bottles for the months prescribed, air freight and customs clearance.

Step 4: Import permit from CDSCO

Our team fills in the Form 12A application, which goes to CDSCO under Rule 36 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules. As per CDSCO, the Form 12B licence is generally granted in one to two days, and the permit remains valid for six months.

Step 5: Shipping without a cold chain

These tablets are kept at room temperature, not in a fridge. The cartons and bottles stay factory-sealed for the whole journey and are packed to keep out summer heat.

Step 6: Hand-over at home or at the hospital

The parcel goes to the address written on the permit, or to the neurologist's hospital if the family prefers. The first maintenance bottle reaches you before day 41, when the titration pack finishes.

How long does it all take?

Once the papers are complete, the permit itself takes around one to two working days. The arrival date for the medicine is written on your quote, because it depends on what the source has in stock and on flight connections.

Documents Needed to Import Juvmo

• Neurologist's prescription for Juvmo (tavapadon): titration pack, maintenance strength and number of months, signed with the doctor's medical council registration number
• A clinic note or report that confirms the Parkinson's disease diagnosis
• The list of all other medicines, vitamins and herbal products the patient takes, because several of them change the Juvmo dose
• An Aadhaar card, passport or other government photo ID of the patient
• Form 12A with the patient's signature (we fill it in; you only sign)

Is Juvmo available in India?

Not on the Indian market. The US FDA approved tavapadon in September 2026, but CDSCO has not approved it for sale here. Indian law still allows a doctor-prescribed import for one identified patient under Rule 36, using a Form 12A application and the Form 12B permit that follows.

Juvmo titration pack or 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg: which one will you get?

Almost every new patient begins with the titration pack. It is a carton of 6 weekly blister cards: 100 tablets in all, 36 of 0.25 mg and 64 of 1 mg, which covers the first 40 days. From day 41 the doctor moves the patient to one daily tablet of 5 mg, 10 mg or 15 mg, sold in 30-tablet bottles that last about a month. So the final bill depends on that strength and on how many months are prescribed.

Can you order Juvmo online in India?

No e-pharmacy in India can list it, since unapproved medicines are not allowed on open sale. What you can do from home is send the prescription to NPP by email or WhatsApp; we then handle the permit and bring the medicine in under the patient's own name.

Patients outside India

Families in Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and the Gulf states also write to us. Whether we can ship depends on the import law of each country. For the Indian side of the law, see our page on Indian import regulations.

Sourcing & Delivery of Juvmo

AbbVie Inc. markets Juvmo in the United States. NPP works as a Juvmo supplier in India only through the named patient route: we purchase from authorised sources, and only once the Form 12B permit for that patient is in hand. That way each carton or bottle is linked to one prescription and one person.

Storage

The label asks for 20°C to 25°C, with brief spells anywhere from 15°C to 30°C allowed. In May and June that rules out the car dashboard, the kitchen shelf next to the stove and sunny windows; a cupboard in a cool room works well. Keep it where children cannot reach it. For the journey to you, we use heat-insulated packaging, explained on our temperature-controlled shipping page.

Titration pack first, then monthly bottles

The weekly cards run out on day 40 and the next tablet is due on day 41, so we order the starter carton and the first maintenance bottles at the same time. That avoids a gap in treatment.

Final check in New Delhi

Before any parcel is sent out from our New Delhi office, a registered pharmacist compares it with the prescription and the permit, and makes sure the expiry date is later than the planned end of treatment.
