WHAT LEVODOPA/CARBIDOPA/ENTACAPONE ORION IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Levodopa/Carbidopa/Entacapone Orion contains three active substances
(levodopa, carbidopa and
entacapone) in one film-coated tablet. Levodopa/Carbidopa/Entacapone
Orion is used for the
treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
Parkinson’s disease is caused by low levels of a substance called
dopamine in the brain. Levodopa
increases the amount of dopamine and hence reduces the symptoms of
Parkinson’s disease. Carbidopa
and entacapone improve the antiparkinson effects of levodopa.
