Product Description
SYNCAPONE 50mg is a fixed-dose combination medication that contains Levodopa, Entacapone, and Carbidopa. Levodopa is converted to dopamine in the brain, helping to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Entacapone prolongs the effect of Levodopa by inhibiting its breakdown. Carbidopa enhances the effectiveness of Levodopa by preventing its metabolism outside the brain. This combination helps to improve motor symptoms, such as tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement, associated with Parkinson's disease. SYNCAPONE 50mg provides convenient dosing and may enhance the overall control of symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease.
