Carbidopa-levo Er

CARBIDOPA-LEVO ER is a medication that combines two active ingredients, carbidopa and levodopa, to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It is an extended-release formulation, meaning that it slowly releases the medication into the body over a longer period of time, providing a more consistent effect. This medication helps to increase the levels of dopamine in the brain, which helps to improve motor function and reduce symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with movement. It is typically taken orally and the dosage may vary depending on the individual's needs and response to treatment.

Carbidopa-levodopa-entacapone

CARBIDOPA-LEVODOPA-ENTACAPONE is a medication that combines three active ingredients to treat Parkinson's disease. Carbidopa helps prevent the breakdown of levodopa in the bloodstream, allowing more of it to reach the brain and be converted into dopamine. Levodopa is a precursor to dopamine and helps alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Entacapone prolongs the effects of levodopa by inhibiting an enzyme that breaks it down. This combination medication helps improve motor function and reduce the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with movement.
