levocarb
Levodopa (L-DOPA) and carbidopa are medications used to treat Parkinson's disease. Levodopa is converted to dopamine in the brain, which helps to improve muscle movement. Carbidopa is added to levodopa to reduce the amount of levodopa that is converted to dopamine outside of the brain, which helps to increase the amount of levodopa that reaches the brain and decrease the side effects. The combination of levodopa and carbidopa is taken orally, usually 2-3 times a day, and it is considered as the most effective medication for Parkinson's disease.
