Introduction About SYNDOPA PLUS TABLET
What is Syndopa Plus Tablet?
Syndopa
Plus Tablet is a medication used primarily for the management of
Parkinson’s disease. It contains a combination of two active
ingredients, levodopa and carbidopa which help control the symptoms of
Parkinson’s disease by replenishing dopamine in the brain.
Syndopa
Plus tablet is preferably taken with meals to avoid nausea and stomach
discomfort. It is usually prescribed as one tab 3-4 times/day. However,
your doctor will adjust the dose according to your age, and health
condition.
Before taking Syndopa Plus Tablet, inform your doctor
if you have any history of heart disease, kidney problems, or liver
disease. Avoid alcohol while taking this medication as it may increase
the risk of side effects. Syndopa Plus is not recommended for use in
pregnant or breastfeeding women without medical advice.
The most
common side effects of Syndopa Plus Tablet are headache, dizziness,
nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps, and fatigue. Consult your doctor if any
of these side effects trouble you.
Key Composition
Syndopa Plus Tablet contains a combination of two anti-parkinsonian agents such as
- Levodopa 100mg + Carbidopa 50mg
Levodopa: A precursor to dopamine, which helps in managing Parkinson’s disease symptoms.
Carbidopa: Prevents levodopa from breaking down before it reaches the brain, ensuring more effective therapy
Uses Of SYNDOPA PLUS TABLET
- Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease
- Improves motor functions and movement in Parkinson’s patients
- Reduces stiffness, tremors, and difficulty in movement
Benefits of Syndopa Plus Tablet for Parkinson’s patients:
- Improves Motor Symptoms:
Syndopa Plus Tablet contains levodopa and carbidopa, which work
together to improve movement by replenishing dopamine levels in the
brain, alleviating symptoms like tremors, stiffness, and slowness of
movement. - Reduces “Off” Periods: It helps minimize periods when Parkinson’s symptoms worsen (off periods) and improves overall quality of life.Â
- Prevents Levodopa Breakdown:
Carbidopa in the tablet prevents the premature breakdown of levodopa in
the bloodstream, ensuring more of the drug reaches the brain for
effective symptom control. - Improves Quality of Life: By addressing motor symptoms, it enables patients to perform daily activities more independently and enhances overall mobility
How SYNDOPA PLUS TABLET Works
When
you have Parkinson’s disease, your brain doesn’t make enough dopamine, a
chemical that helps control your movements. This lack of dopamine leads
to symptoms like shaking, stiffness, and difficulty moving.
Syndopa Plus Tablet contains two medicines, Levodopa and Carbidopa, that work together to help you move better:
- Levodopa:
This gets converted into dopamine in your brain, replacing the dopamine
your body is missing. This helps reduce symptoms like tremors,
stiffness, and slowness, so your body moves more smoothly. - Carbidopa:
This helps levodopa reach your brain without being broken down too
early in your body. It also reduces side effects like nausea, making the
treatment easier to tolerate.
Together, these medicines
help restore your brain’s dopamine levels, improving your ability to
move and making daily activities like walking, eating, or writing easier
and more manageable.
How Does Syndopa Plus Improve motor skills in Parkinson’s?
- By
replenishing dopamine levels in the brain, Syndopa Plus helps improve
coordination, reduce tremors, and relieve muscle stiffness. - This
results in smoother, more controlled movements, allowing patients to
perform daily activities like walking, writing, or eating with greater
ease.
Regular use of Syndopa Plus, as prescribed by a doctor, is a cornerstone in managing motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
