Introduction About SYNDOPA CR TABLET
SYNDOPA
CR 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
CR 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 CR 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 to notice
and report doctor immediately that if the patient develops any addictive
symptoms like craving for large doses of SYNDOPA CR TABLET, unusual
behavior, gambling, excessive eating or spending, an abnormally high sex
drive or any other activities that could harm themselves or others.
Try
to avoid eating a heavy meal that includes a lot of protein (such as
beef, pork, cheese, fish and eggs) while taking SYNDOPA CR TABLET, as it
may interfere with its absorption.
The common side effects of
taking SYNDOPA CR TABLET are nausea, vomiting, abnormal muscle
movements, loss of appetite, dry mouth, bitter taste and tiredness.
Consult your doctor if any of the side effects worsen.

- Used to improve the signs of Parkinsonism
How SYNDOPA CR TABLET Works
SYNDOPA
CR 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.
