Used For:

Paridopa 100/25/200mg Tablets are used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and related movement disorders. This combination medication includes:

  • Levodopa (100mg): A precursor to dopamine that is converted into dopamine in the brain, which helps alleviate symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
  • Carbidopa (25mg): Prevents levodopa from being converted into dopamine outside the brain, reducing side effects like nausea and enhancing the effectiveness of levodopa.
  • Entacapone (200mg): A COMT inhibitor that extends the effect of levodopa by inhibiting its breakdown, improving motor function and reducing "off" periods.

Side Effects:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Dizziness
  • Dry mouth
  • Orthostatic hypotension (dizziness or fainting upon standing)
  • Hallucinations or confusion
  • Dyskinesia (involuntary movements)
  • Constipation

Precautions:

  • Medical History: Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of liver disease, kidney problems, heart disease, or mental health disorders, as adjustments to the medication may be needed.
  • Monitoring: Regular check-ups are necessary to monitor for potential side effects and to adjust the dosage as needed.
  • Drug Interactions: Provide a list of all other medications and supplements you are taking to avoid interactions. Some drugs can affect the efficacy or increase side effects of Paridopa.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding to weigh the potential risks and benefits.
