How Dose Syncapone 150 works

Levodopa is a pro-drug and crosses blood-brain barrier where it is converted into a chemical (dopamine) in the body which is required by the brain for proper functioning and relieves symptoms associated with Parkinson?s disease. Carbidopa works by preventing the breakdown of levodopa in the bloodstream. This allows more levodopa to enter the brain, where it can decrease Parkinson?s symptoms. Entacapone belongs to the class of drugs known as COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase) inhibitors. Entacapone works by increasing the levels of levodopa and carbidopa in the brain, thereby helping to relieve the symptoms of Parkinson?s disease.
