| Active Ingredient | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Carbidopa |
Carbidopa is a peripheral aromatic amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor. It prevents metabolism of levodopa to dopamine in the peripheral circulation, ensuring that a higher proportion of the dose reaches the brain, where dopamine exerts its therapeutic effects. A lower dose of levodopa can be used when it is coadministered with carbidopa, reducing the incidence and severity of peripheral side effects. |
|
| Levodopa |
According to the current understanding, the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are related to depletion of dopamine in the corpus striatum. Dopamine does not cross the blood-brain barrier. Levodopa, the precursor of dopamine, crosses the blood brain barrier and relieves the symptoms of the disease. |
