Stalevo 100/25/200 30Tab

Stalevo is a medication used to treat Parkinson's disease, containing a combination of active ingredients that help improve movement and reduce symptoms associated with the disease. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as Parkinson's antagonists and works by increasing dopamine levels in the brain.

Stalevo contains three active ingredients: Entacapone, Levodopa, and Carbidopa. Levodopa is converted into dopamine in the brain, helping to improve movement control. Meanwhile, Entacapone inhibits certain enzymes that break down dopamine, increasing the effectiveness of Levodopa. Carbidopa helps reduce the side effects associated with using Levodopa alone, improving the quality of life for patients.
