Product Description
Product Name: Neudopa Tablets 275mg
Product Form: Tablets
Pack Size: 100's
Manufactured By: Platinum Pharmaceuticals
Used For:
- Parkinson’s Disease: Levodopa is a precursor to dopamine, which is deficient in patients with Parkinson's. Carbidopa prevents levodopa from converting to dopamine outside the brain, allowing more to reach the brain and reducing peripheral side effects.
- Restless Legs Syndrome: Sometimes used to treat moderate to severe cases of this condition.
Side Effects:
- Common Side Effects: Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, orthostatic hypotension (drop in blood pressure when standing), and drowsiness.
- Motor Fluctuations: Long-term use can lead to motor fluctuations (on-off phenomena), where the medication’s effectiveness varies.
- Serious Side Effects: Psychotic symptoms (hallucinations, confusion), dyskinesias (involuntary movements), and risk of melanoma.
Precautions:
- Cardiovascular Issues: Use with caution in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease or hypertension.
- Mental Health: Monitor for changes in mood or behavior, especially in older adults.
- Interactions: Inform your healthcare provider about other medications, as certain drugs may interact and affect how well levodopa and carbidopa work.
- Dietary Considerations: High-protein meals may interfere with the absorption of levodopa; it may be beneficial to take the medication on an empty stomach or with a low-protein meal.
