| Indication: | For treatment of the symptoms of idiopathic Parkinson-s disease (paralysis agitans),
post-encephalitic parkinsonism |
| Pharmacology: | Carbidopa, a noncompetitive decarboxylase inhibitor, is used in combination with
levodopa for the treatment of Parkinson-s disease. |
| Mechanism_of_action: | When mixed with levodopa, carbidopa inhibits the peripheral conversion of levodopa
to dopamine and the decarboxylation of oxitriptan to serotonin by aromatic L-amino
acid decarboxylase. This results in increased amount of levodopa and oxitriptan
available for transport to the CNS. Carbidopa also inhibits the metabolism of
levodopa in the GI tract, thus, increasing the bioavailability of levodopa. |
