Syndopa CR Tablet

Description

Uses:
Syndopa CR Tablet is a controlled-release formulation used to manage Parkinson’s disease and Parkinson’s-like movement disorders. It combines Levodopa, which replenishes dopamine in the brain, with Carbidopa, which prevents the premature breakdown of Levodopa in the bloodstream. This combination helps reduce symptoms such as tremors, muscle stiffness, slowness of movement, and balance difficulties. The controlled-release form ensures a sustained release of medication, providing longer symptom relief and reducing the frequency of doses.

How to Use:
Take Syndopa CR Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or break it, as this can affect the controlled-release mechanism. It may be taken with or without food. Take at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels of the medicine. Do not stop therapy abruptly, as this may worsen Parkinsonian symptoms.
