Carbidopa tablets

Function and Efficacy

Carbidopa is a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor and is not easy to enter the central nervous system. It only inhibits the conversion of peripheral levodopa into dopamine, increasing the levodopa content in the circulation, and thus the amount of levodopa entering the central nervous system. Levodopa is converted into dopamine by dopamine decarboxylase in the brain and exerts its pharmacological effects, improving the symptoms of parkinsonism.
