How Syncapone 50 Tablet Works

Syncapone 50 Tablet 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 cause 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.
