Pharmacological information of Carl Dupa
Medication Information: Co Carl Dupa is used to treat Parkinson's. However, it is also prescribed for some other diseases.
Parkinson's disease affects the way the brain coordinates with muscle movements. In this disease, a number of black body cells in the brain are damaged and die. These brain cells (dopaminergic neurons) transmit the message from the nerves to the spinal cord by producing a chemical called dopamine, which controls the movement of the body's muscles. When these brain cells are damaged, the amount of dopamine produced decreases. The combination of a decrease in brain cells and low levels of dopamine in the cells of this part of the brain slows down and abnormal nerve messages to the muscles. These are the main symptoms of Parkinson's disease, namely stiffness, shaking (shaking) and slowness of movement.
Co Carl Dupa contains two ingredients, levodopa and carbide dopa. In the body, levodopa is converted to dopamine, which helps restore dopamine levels to normal in the affected area of the brain. Dopa carbohydrate prevents levodopa from being converted to dopamine in other parts of the body than the brain. This means that more levodopa enters the brain, where it is converted to dopamine to reduce the side effects of Parkinson's. Co-Carl Dupa, a combination drug of the Stalevo brand, is a combination of Co-Carl Dopa and Antacapone used to treat Parkinson's.
