1. WHAT TAPIDOLA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Tapidola contains three active substances (levodopa, carbidopa and
entacapone) in one film-coated
tablet. Tapidola 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.
