Product Description
SINEMET 250mg is a fixed-dose combination medication that contains Levodopa and Carbidopa. Levodopa is converted into dopamine in the brain and helps to relieve symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Carbidopa helps to prevent the breakdown of Levodopa before it can reach the brain, which enhances its therapeutic effects.
