Carbidopa Newgreen Supply API 99% Carbidopa Powder
Product Description
Carbidopa is a drug that is primarily used to treat Parkinson's disease. It is often used in combination with levodopa to enhance the effects of treatment and reduce side effects.
Main Mechanics
Inhibit DOPA decarboxylase:
Carbidopa works by inhibiting dopa decarboxylase in the periphery, preventing L-dopa from being converted to dopamine before it enters the brain. This allows more L-dopa to cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the central nervous system, thereby increasing the therapeutic effect.
Reduce side effects:
Because Carbidopa reduces peripheral dopamine production, it can significantly reduce levodopa-related side effects such as nausea and vomiting.
Indications
Parkinson's Disease: Carbidopa is primarily used in combination with levodopa to treat Parkinson's disease to help improve movement symptoms such as tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia.
