Syndopa 110 Tablet 10's

Syndopa 110 Tablet is a precursor of dopamine (chemical messenger in the brain) primarily used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease with its symptoms including tremors, spasms, muscle stiffness, and poor muscle control. Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement and locomotion, which causes stiffness, shaking, difficulty in walking, coordination, and balance. In Parkinson's patients, there are low dopamine levels as the nerve cells of the brain (neurons) that produce dopamine begin to die.

Syndopa 110 Tablet contains 'Levodopa' and 'Carbidopa'. Levodopa belongs to the central nervous system agents, while Carbidopa is a decarboxylase inhibitor. The medicinal component Levodopa changes into dopamine in the brain and helps to control movement. Carbidopa acts by preventing the breakdown of Levodopa in the bloodstream so that more Levodopa can reach to brain.

Parkinson's disease: It is a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement due to damage of nerve cells in the brain, which reduces the levels of dopamine and leads to symptoms such as stiffness, tremors in one hand, shaking, difficulty in walking, coordination, and balance. If proper treatment is not provided at the right time, then symptoms may worsen with time. This condition can last for many years or a lifetime.
