Sinemet Extra 25/100

Sinemet Extra 25/100 contains Levodopa + Carbidopa, a dopamine-replacement combination for Parkinson’s disease. Made by Obs-pharma Ltd, it is prescribed for parkinson's disease. Pack size: 30 tablets.

Uses of Sinemet Extra 25/100

Sinemet Extra 25/100 is the most effective treatment for the movement symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, including slowness, stiffness, tremor and difficulty walking. It does not stop the disease from progressing, but it can greatly improve daily function and quality of life. It is also used for some other forms of parkinsonism. A specialist usually adjusts treatment over time as symptoms change.

How Sinemet Extra 25/100 works

Levodopa is a building block that the brain converts into dopamine, the chemical messenger that is lacking in Parkinson’s disease. Carbidopa blocks the breakdown of levodopa outside the brain, so more of it reaches the brain and side effects such as nausea are reduced.

Possible side effects

When starting or adjusting Sinemet Extra 25/100, people commonly notice:

• Nausea
• Dizziness, especially on standing
• Involuntary movements (dyskinesia)
• Drowsiness
• Loss of appetite

Tell your doctor promptly about hallucinations, confusion, sudden episodes of falling asleep, or new urges such as compulsive gambling, shopping, eating or sexual behaviour. Seek urgent help for a high fever with severe stiffness.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not stop taking it suddenly or reduce it without advice, as this can cause severe stiffness, fever and confusion.
• Do not drive if you experience sudden sleepiness or fall asleep without warning.
• High-protein meals and iron supplements can reduce how well it is absorbed, so ask your doctor or pharmacist how to time it.
• Tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, heart disease, a history of melanoma or mental health problems, and avoid MAOI antidepressants.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your doctor before taking it.
