SYNDOPA CR – 10 TABLET

SYNDOPA CR TABLETS combine levodopa and carbidopa in a controlled-release form to provide sustained relief from Parkinson’s disease symptoms. Levodopa converts to dopamine in the brain, addressing dopamine deficiency, while carbidopa prevents premature conversion outside the brain. The controlled-release mechanism ensures a steady level of medication in the bloodstream, reducing symptom fluctuations and improving long-term management of motor control.

Usage Instructions:
Consult Your Doctor: Confirm that SYNDOPA CR TABLETS is suitable for your condition and discuss any other medications you are taking.
Dosage: Follow your healthcare provider’s prescribed dosage, typically one tablet taken once or twice daily.
Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet.
Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double up on doses.

Medicinal Advantages:
Extended Relief: Provides long-lasting control of Parkinson’s disease symptoms with a controlled-release formulation.
Enhanced Motor Function: Reduces tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia, improving daily functioning.
Consistent Dosage: Ensures steady medication levels in the body, reducing symptom fluctuations and enhancing therapeutic benefits.

Mechanism of Action:
SYNDOPA CR TABLETS utilize a controlled-release mechanism to deliver levodopa and carbidopa over an extended period. Levodopa is converted to dopamine in the brain, alleviating dopamine deficiency. Carbidopa inhibits the conversion of levodopa to dopamine outside the brain, which helps maximize levodopa’s efficacy and minimize side effects.

Off-Label Uses:
While SYNDOPA CR TABLETS are primarily prescribed for Parkinson’s disease, they may be used off-label for other conditions that involve motor control issues, such as certain types of tremors or motor symptoms associated with neurological disorders. Always use under medical supervision for off-label purposes.
