Description

Sinemet Tablet
Overview:
Sinemet contains a combination of Carbidopa and Levodopa, used primarily for managing Parkinson’s disease symptoms such as muscle stiffness, tremors, spasms, and poor muscle control. It can also address Parkinson-like symptoms caused by carbon monoxide poisoning or manganese intoxication. Carbidopa prevents the breakdown of Levodopa in the bloodstream, enabling more Levodopa to reach the brain, where it converts to dopamine.
Uses and Benefits:
Parkinson’s Disease: Relieves symptoms such as stiffness, tremors, and muscle spasms.
Dopamine Regulation: Enhances dopamine levels in the brain, improving coordination and mobility.
Intoxication Management: Treats Parkinson-like symptoms from carbon monoxide or manganese exposure.

Take as directed by your healthcare provider, typically multiple times a day.
Can be taken with or without food, but avoid high-protein meals that may reduce absorption.

Dyskinesia (uncontrolled movements)
