sinemet tablets treat Parkinson's disease by replacing dopamine deficiency, thus improving slow movement, muscle stiffness, tremors, and loss of balance. This is due to its active ingredients, levodopa and carbidopa.
Ingredients of sinemet tablets
sinemet uae contains the active ingredients:
- Levodopa: The precursor to dopamine, which crosses the blood-brain barrier and is converted into dopamine within the nervous system to compensate for the deficiency associated with Parkinson's disease.
- Carbidopa: An inhibitor of the enzyme (AADC), which is responsible for converting levodopa to dopamine in the body before it reaches the brain. When this enzyme is inhibited, a larger amount of levodopa reaches the brain, reducing its side effects. This substance does not cross the blood-brain barrier and only works outside the central nervous system.
