Stalevo Information

Stalevo (Carbidopa/Levodopa/Entacapone) is a fixed-dose combination medication used to treat Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder caused by a lack of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain, leading to symptoms like tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. The effectiveness of Stalevo lies in the synergistic action of its three active components: levodopa, carbidopa, and entacapone.

Levodopa is the main active component as it is the immediate precursor to dopamine. Levodopa can cross the blood-brain barrier (a protective layer around the brain) and is then converted into dopamine, helping to replace the dopamine levels and reduce Parkinson's disease symptoms. Carbidopa and entacapone act as protectors, blocking the enzymes (DOPA decarboxylase and COMT, respectively) that prematurely break down levodopa in the body. This protective mechanism ensures a greater, more sustained amount of the crucial dopamine reaches the brain. Essentially, carbidopa and entacapone help make levodopa more effective and its benefits last longer.

Clinical studies have proven Stalevo to be safe and effective in managing Parkinson's disease. It is particularly useful for patients who are already on standard therapy but are experiencing fluctuations in dopamine levels at the end period between doses. It is effective in treating the symptoms that may arise as a result of these fluctuations in dopamine levels especially when they can't be controlled by standard therapy alone.
