Medicinal Benefits

Trivastal LA Tablet is an antiparkinson agent that is used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. In Parkinson’s patients, the nerve cells that produce dopamine (a chemical messenger that is important for movement control) begin to die. So, there is a decrease in dopamine levels. Trivastal LA Tablet increases dopamine levels in the brain, thereby improving the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Trivastal LA Tablet can also be used in the symptomatic treatment of brain and neurological disorders to improve cognitive skills (thinking and learning abilities), except in Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. It is also used to treat intermittent claudication (sudden pain in the legs while walking or exercising), which occurs due to low blood flow to the legs, ocular ischemic symptoms (problems with blood flow to the eye), restless leg syndrome (an uncontrollable urge to move your legs while sitting or lying down), and depression.
