Product Details

Paridopa 200/50/200mg Tablets are a combination medication specifically designed for the management of Parkinson's disease. This medication contains three active ingredients: Levodopa (200mg), Carbidopa (50mg), and Entacapone (200mg). Levodopa is a precursor to dopamine and helps replenish the depleted levels of dopamine in the brain, thereby improving motor function and control in Parkinson's patients. Carbidopa works by inhibiting the premature breakdown of Levodopa in the bloodstream, ensuring that more Levodopa reaches the brain. Entacapone further enhances the effects of Levodopa by preventing its breakdown in the body, providing a comprehensive approach to managing the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Purposes

Paridopa Tablets are used to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, including tremors, stiffness, and slow movement. This combination therapy is particularly effective in improving muscle control and coordination by increasing dopamine levels in the brain. The addition of Carbidopa and Entacapone ensures maximum efficacy of Levodopa, leading to better symptom management and improved quality of life for those affected by Parkinson's disease.

Warnings

Paridopa Tablets should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, kidney or liver problems, or mental health conditions, as these may affect the suitability of this medication for you. Use with caution if you have a history of melanoma or skin lesions, as this medication may increase the risk of malignant melanoma. Be aware of potential interactions with other medications, such as MAO inhibitors, certain antidepressants, and other medications that affect dopamine levels. Regular monitoring of liver function and blood counts may be necessary while using this medication.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of Paridopa Tablets may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, abdominal pain, constipation, headache, confusion, hallucinations, dyskinesia (involuntary movements), and changes in urine color (usually harmless). These side effects are generally mild and may subside over time. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as intense confusion, hallucinations, or involuntary movements, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Avoid making sudden movements, as this medication can cause dizziness or lightheadedness. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this medication. Do not stop taking Paridopa Tablets abruptly without consulting your healthcare provider, as this can cause withdrawal symptoms.
