Description

Indications

Levodopa and carbidopa are combined to alleviate Parkinson’s disease symptoms, as well as Parkinson’s-like symptoms that may arise after encephalitis (brain inflammation), or nervous system damage due to carbon monoxide or manganese poisoning.

Parkinson’s symptoms, which include tremors, stiffness, and slow movement, are caused by a deficiency of dopamine, a natural substance typically present in the brain.

Levodopa falls into the category of central nervous system agents and is transformed into dopamine in the brain. Carbidopa is a decarboxylase inhibitor, preventing levodopa from breaking down before it reaches the brain. This allows for a lower levodopa dose, which results in less nausea and vomiting.

Uses and Dosage

Follow your doctor’s instructions and take this medication orally, with or without food, typically 3 to 4 times a day.

Ingesting the medication with food may help to minimize nausea. Unless otherwise instructed by your doctor, avoid consuming high-protein foods that could decrease the absorption of levodopa.

If you take iron supplements or iron-containing products, such as multivitamins with minerals, separate the dosage of this medication from them by several hours, as iron can impede absorption.

Your medical condition and response to therapy determine the dosage, which your doctor may increase gradually to decrease the risk of side effects. Different strengths of this combination medication, containing varying amounts of levodopa and carbidopa per tablet, are available, so ensure that you have the correct strength of both drugs.

Your doctor may prescribe carbidopa alone to take in combination with this medication. Take this medication at the same time each day to obtain the most benefit from it.

Occasionally, patients may experience “wearing-off,” which causes symptoms to worsen before the next dosage, or an “on-off” effect, which causes sudden short periods of stiffness. If you notice these symptoms, contact your doctor to discuss possible dose adjustments to reduce these effects.

Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor, as abruptly discontinuing it may exacerbate certain conditions.

Withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, confusion, fever, and muscle stiffness, may also occur if you suddenly stop taking this medication. To prevent withdrawal symptoms, your doctor may gradually reduce your dosage. Withdrawal is more likely if you have used this medication for a prolonged period or in high doses. Contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately if you experience any withdrawal symptoms.

Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve or deteriorates.
