Stalevo (carbidopa, levodopa and entacapone)

Description Stalevo 50Mg/12.5Mg/200Mg 30 Tabs Stalevo is a combination of three common medications used to treat Parkinson’s disease: carbidopa and levodopa (which are the active ingredients in Sinemet) and entacapone (which is the active ingredient in Comtan). Levodopa is a substance that is converted into dopamine in the brain. This is the most widely prescribed treatment for Parkinson’s. Carbidopa helps prevent levodopa from being broken down in the gut, liver and other tissues. This allows more levodopa to reach the brain and also helps prevent nausea and vomiting. Entacapone (Comtan) will enhance the action of levodopa. Taking Stalevo will allow you to take one medication instead of two separate ones and may also help you to experience fewer signs and symptoms of wearing off.
