Syncapone 50 Tablet

Description

Uses:
Syncapone 50 Tablet is used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, balance, and coordination. It combines three active ingredients that work synergistically to manage symptoms:

• Levodopa replenishes the brain’s dopamine levels, improving movement and reducing muscle stiffness and tremors.

• Carbidopa ensures more Levodopa reaches the brain by preventing its breakdown in the bloodstream, reducing side effects such as nausea.

• Entacapone extends the duration of Levodopa’s action by blocking an enzyme (COMT) that breaks it down, ensuring long-lasting symptom relief.

This triple-action therapy helps improve mobility, coordination, and quality of life in patients with Parkinson’s disease.

How to Use:
Take Syncapone 50 Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow it whole with a glass of water, with or without food. Try to take it at the same times each day to maintain consistent levels in your blood. Do not crush or chew the tablet. Avoid sudden discontinuation without consulting your doctor, as this may worsen Parkinson’s symptoms or cause withdrawal reactions.
