Description

Adicos Syrup 120ml is a medicinal syrup designed for the management of parkinsonism, including conditions like Parkinson's disease. The key ingredient, Co-careldopa, combines carbidopa and levodopa to help manage the motor symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease, such as tremors, stiffness, and slow movements. It works by enhancing dopamine levels in the brain, which is a key neurotransmitter involved in regulating movement. This medication is typically prescribed to help improve the quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease and similar conditions.

Functions

Adicos Syrup is primarily used to alleviate the symptoms of parkinsonism, particularly in patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The combination of carbidopa and levodopa in the syrup helps to restore dopamine levels in the brain, improving motor function and reducing symptoms like tremors, muscle rigidity, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement). By enhancing dopamine transmission, Adicos Syrup helps patients regain better control over their movements, which can be impaired in conditions like Parkinson's disease.

Precautions

Adicos Syrup should be used with caution in patients with a history of cardiovascular issues, such as heart disease, recent heart attack, or hypertension. Those with liver or kidney problems should also take this medication under medical supervision, as adjustments may be necessary. Patients with psychiatric conditions, particularly psychosis or a history of mental health issues, should avoid this medication unless closely monitored by a healthcare provider. It's important to monitor for changes in mood or behavior during treatment, as there may be a risk of depression or suicidal thoughts.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Adicos Syrup may include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, and anorexia (loss of appetite). Some patients may also experience central nervous system (CNS) disturbances, such as dizziness or confusion. Other possible side effects include changes in blood pressure, muscle problems (like dystonia or muscle rigidity), skin reactions, and peripheral edema (swelling). In rare cases, more serious side effects like aspiration pneumonia or urinary retention may occur. If any unusual or severe side effects are experienced, it is important to contact a healthcare provider immediately.

Cautions

Adicos Syrup should be used with caution in individuals with certain medical conditions. Patients with a history of psychosis, melanoma (skin cancer), narrow-angle glaucoma, or a history of heart problems should avoid this medication or use it under strict medical supervision. This medication is also contraindicated in breastfeeding women, as the effects on lactation are not well understood. Pregnant women should consult with a healthcare provider before starting this medication, as it may not be suitable during pregnancy. Regular monitoring is recommended to track mental health changes, blood pressure, and overall physical condition while taking this medication.
