About Syncapone 100 Tablet 10's

Syncapone 100 Tablet 10's belongs to a class of drugs called 'antiparkinson agents', a precursor of dopamine (chemical messenger in the brain) primarily used in treating Parkinson's disease with its symptoms including tremors, spasms, muscle stiffness and poor muscle control. Parkinson's disease is a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement and locomotion, which causes stiffness, shaking, and difficulty in walking, coordination and balance. In Parkinson's patients, there are low dopamine levels as the nerve cells of the brain (neurons) that produce dopamine begin to die.

Syncapone 100 Tablet 10's contains Carbidopa, Levodopa, and Entacapone. Levodopa belongs to the central nervous system agents, while Carbidopa is a decarboxylase inhibitor. The medicinal component Levodopa changes into dopamine in the brain and helps to control movement. Carbidopa prevents the breakdown of Levodopa in the bloodstream so that more Levodopa can reach the brain. On the other hand, Entacapone belongs to a class of COMT (catechol-o-methyltransferase enzyme) inhibitors which causes higher and more sustained levels of Levodopa in the blood that more Levodopa can reach the brain, leading to greater relief from the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Take Syncapone 100 Tablet 10's as prescribed by your doctor. You are suggested to take $ame as long as your doctor has prescribed it after checking your medical condition. The most common side effects of Syncapone 100 Tablet 10's are nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, light-headedness, lowered blood pressure, confusion, and dyskinesia (uncontrolled/involuntary muscle movement).

Uses of Syncapone 100 Tablet 10's

Parkinson’s disease

Medicinal Benefits

Syncapone 100 Tablet 10's is an antiparkinson agent that is used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Syncapone 100 Tablet 10's is a combination of three medicines: Carbidopa, Levodopa, and Entacapone. Levodopa belongs to the class of medications name as central nervous system agents, While Carbidopa falls in decarboxylase inhibitors. The medicinal component Levodopa changes into dopamine in the brain and helps to control movement. At the same time, Carbidopa acts by preventing the breakdown of Levodopa in the bloodstream so that more Levodopa can effectively reach the brain to block acetylcholine (a chemical messenger in the brain). Entacapone blocks a certain natural substance, catechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT) (an enzyme that breaks down the levodopa in the body), which causes higher and more sustained levels of levodopa in the blood, so that more Levodopa can reach the brain, leading to greater relief from the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. This effect allows the levodopa to last longer in the body so that it doesn't wear off before the next dose.
