Paridopa 50/12.5/200mg Tablets are typically used for the management of Parkinson's disease and related disorders. This combination medication includes:

• Levodopa (50mg): A precursor to dopamine that is converted into dopamine in the brain, helping to improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
• Carbidopa (12.5mg): Enhances the effectiveness of levodopa by preventing its conversion into dopamine outside the brain, which helps reduce side effects like nausea.
• Entacapone (200mg): A COMT inhibitor that prolongs the effect of levodopa by preventing its breakdown, thereby improving motor symptoms.
