Introduction About SYNDOPA 275MG TABLET
SYNDOPA
275MG TABLET is a combination of Carbidopa and Levodopa which belongs
to the group of medicines called Antiparkinsonian drugs. It is used to
improve the signs of Parkinsonism. Parkinsonism is a long-term illness
caused due to loss of nerve cells in the part of the brain which is
responsible for producing dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical messenger
that controls body balance and movements.
Symptoms of
parkinsonism include slow and unsteady movements, muscle tightness,
shaking or trembling, difficulty in walking, balance and coordination.
SYNDOPA
275MG TABLET must be used with caution among patients having any form
of glaucoma (increased pressure in the eyes), as it can lead to further
damage to the eye. SYNDOPA 275MG TABLET is not recommended for use in
women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, including children and
adolescents (aged below 18 years).
It is important for caregivers

any addictive symptoms like craving for large doses of SYNDOPA 275MG
TABLET, unusual behavior, gambling, excessive eating or spending, an
abnormally high sex drive or any other activities that could harm
themselves or others.

How SYNDOPA 275MG TABLET Works
SYNDOPA
275MG TABLET effectively controls the signs of parkinsonism, where
levodopa acts by converting itself into a substance called dopamine (a
chemical messenger that controls body movement) and carbidopa acts by
managing the breakdown of levodopa outside the brain, thereby allowing
greater proportion of levodopa to enter the brain. Collectively they
supplement the brain with sufficient dopamine levels which ultimately
results in improving the signs of parkinsonism.
