Syncapone is an oral tablet that is prescribed to Parkinson’s patients. It intends to minimize excessive shaking by slowing down body movements. It is a highly effective medicine for Parkinson’s disease. Syncapone works as a dopamine booster by increasing Dopamine levels in the brain. In a nutshell, it helps Parkinson’s patients to gain full control over movements & minimize abnormalities in movements.

Let’s have a look at the active ingredients of Syncapone, i.e., Levodopa + Carbidopa + Entacapone in Parkinson’s disease.

Levodopa is a recognized drug for Parkinson’s disease. It manages Parkinson’s motor symptoms like some popular dopamine agonists & MAO-B inhibitors. Secondly, Carbidopa inhibits the peripheral metabolism of Levodopa. It means that Carbidopa functions allow Levodopa to maintain its effectiveness in the Central Nervous System by not letting any blood-brain barrier form. Lastly, Entacapone consistently boosts Levodopa levels & supports the working of Carbidopa. This lets Levodopa prevent Parkinson’s symptoms like tremors; muscular stiffness, poor muscular control, etc stay away.
