Are there any generic versions of this tablet either er or direct version which contain different coloring ingredients than the original sinmet product?

@Dr. Perry,
From what I could gather, Sinemet (Carbidopa + Levodopa) by Merck Pharma reportedly contains the following inactive ingredients:
hydroxypropyl cellulose + pregelatinized starch + crospovidone + microcrystalline cellulose + magnesium stearate.
NOTE: FD&C Blue #2 are also present in the 10mg/100mg and 25mg/250mg dosage forms; whereas D&C Yellow #10 Lake is used in the 25mg/100mg dosage form.
As far as an alternative goes, I did notice that Sandoz makes a generic Carbidopa + Levodopa (w/ the addition of Entacapone) marketed for treating similar conditions, but does have a different list of inactive ingredients:
corn starch + croscarmellose sodium + glycerol 85% + hypromellose + magnesium stearate + mannitol + polysorbate80 + povidone + sucrose + red iron oxide + titanium dioxide. (NOTE: Some versions also contain yellow iron oxide)
Any chance this could be of help?
