Paridopa 50/12.5/200mg 30s
Levodopa, carbidopa, and entacapone combination for Parkinson's disease.
Paridopa 50/12.5/200mg combines levodopa, carbidopa, and entacapone in a single tablet for Parkinson's disease. Levodopa is converted to dopamine in the brain; carbidopa reduces peripheral conversion; entacapone prolongs the effect of levodopa by inhibiting COMT. Used when standard levodopa/carbidopa response wears off between doses.
Purpose
Treatment of Parkinson's disease in patients experiencing end-of-dose motor fluctuations on levodopa/carbidopa.
