Uses of Dopacone 150/37.5/200 mg Tablets

Dopacone 150/37.5/200 mg Tablets is used to treat Parkinson’s disease, particularly in people who experience ‘wearing off’, where symptoms such as stiffness, slowness and tremor return before the next dose is due. Combining all three medicines in one tablet helps keep symptoms more evenly controlled through the day. It is a long-term treatment prescribed and adjusted by a specialist.

How Dopacone 150/37.5/200 mg Tablets works

Levodopa is converted into dopamine in the brain, replacing the dopamine that is lacking in Parkinson’s disease. Carbidopa stops levodopa being broken down before it reaches the brain and reduces nausea. Entacapone blocks another enzyme that breaks down levodopa, so each dose lasts longer.
