SYNCAPONE 150 – 10 TABLET

SYNCAPONE 150 is formulated to treat Parkinson’s disease through a dual-action approach. It contains levodopa, which is converted into dopamine to address the neurotransmitter deficiency associated with Parkinson’s. Carbidopa is included to prevent premature conversion of levodopa into dopamine outside the brain, ensuring more effective and sustained relief from symptoms like tremors and rigidity. This combination provides an efficient, reliable therapeutic effect.

Usage Instructions:
Consult Your Doctor: Ensure SYNCAPONE 150 is suitable for you and discuss any medical conditions.
Dosage: Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions. Typically, the dosage is one tablet taken three times daily.
Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with water. Avoid crushing or chewing the tablet.
Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double up.
Medicinal Advantages:
Effective Symptom Management: Reduces motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, including tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia.
Enhanced Dopamine Levels: Levodopa boosts dopamine levels in the brain, improving motor control.
Minimized Side Effects: Carbidopa enhances the efficacy of levodopa while minimizing side effects such as nausea and dizziness.
Mechanism of Action:
SYNCAPONE 150 works by combining levodopa and carbidopa. Levodopa is a precursor to dopamine, which replenishes the brain’s dopamine supply, addressing the deficiency seen in Parkinson’s disease. Carbidopa inhibits the conversion of levodopa into dopamine outside the brain, ensuring more levodopa reaches the brain and improves motor symptoms effectively.

Off-Label Uses:
While primarily used for Parkinson’s disease, SYNCAPONE 150 may also be prescribed for other conditions that involve motor control issues. This includes certain types of tremors or parkinsonism not covered by its primary indications. Use off-label only under medical supervision.
