Syndopa CR 125 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Carbidopa (25 mg): Carbidopa acts by inhibiting an enzyme known as DOPA decarboxylase, found in peripheral tissues. By doing so, it prevents levodopa from being broken down before it reaches the brain, which allows more levodopa to be available in the brain.

• Levodopa (100 mg): Once inside the brain, levodopa gets converted into dopamine, a neurotransmitter that plays a vital role in coordinating movements. In Parkinson's disease, there is a deficiency of dopamine in certain parts of the brain; levodopa helps replenish these levels, improving motor functions.

The extended-release formulation of Syndopa CR 125 ensures a steady supply of these active ingredients over several hours.

• Store Syndopa CR 125 Tablet at room temperature, ideally not exceeding 25°C.

• Keep the product away from direct light, heat, and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach and sight of children.

• It's important to use Syndopa CR 125 Tablet before the expiration date printed on the pack.

• Limit protein-rich foods like meat, fish, and dairy products. High protein diets can interfere with the absorption of levodopa, an active ingredient in Syndopa CR 125 Tablet, making it less effective in managing Parkinson's symptoms.

• Be aware that sudden movements or changes in position can lead to a drop in blood pressure (orthostatic hypotension). So, make sure you rise slowly from a sitting or lying position to prevent dizziness or fainting.
