Foslevodopa is a medication which acts as a prodrug for levodopa, originally invented in the 1980s but not developed for medical use at that time. It is approved for use in a subcutaneous infusion as a fixed-dose combination with foscarbidopa for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, under the brand name Vyalev.
