General information about Syncapone:
What is Syncapone used for?
Syncapone (12.5+50+200) mg tablets are specifically formulated to treat Parkinson’s disease caused by carbon monoxide poisoning or manganese intoxication. This drug can prevent the breakdown of levodopa before it reaches the brain. It may also be used for other conditions if it’s prescribed by your doctor.
How does Syncapone work?
Syncapone medicine can prevent decarboxylation of levodopa, making more levodopa available to transport to the brain. As a single agent, this drug has no effect. But, when used with levodopa; syncapone can treat idiopathic Parkinson disease, postencephalitic Parkinsonism, and symptomatic Parkinsonism – all are associated with carbon monoxide or manganese poisoning.
What does Syncapone contain?
The key ingredients of Syncapone comprise Levodopa (100 mg), Entacapone (200 mg), and Carbidopa (25 mg).
Carbidopa is an inhibitor of DOPA decarboxylase. It prevents the conversion of levodopa to dopamine, reducing the peripheral adverse effects of Levodopa. Another element Entacapone is a reversible catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) inhibitor that is used to treat Parkinson’s disease, and Levodopa creates a natural dihydroxyphenylalanine and it’s an immediate precursor of dopamine.
