WHAT NUMIENT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Numient contains two different medicines called levodopa and carbidopa
in one hard capsule.
-
levodopa turns into a material called ‘dopamine’ in your brain.
The dopamine helps to improve the
symptoms of your Parkinson’s disease.
-
carbidopa belongs to a group of medicines called ‘aromatic amino
acid decarboxylase inhibitors’. It
helps levodopa work more effectively by slowing the speed at which
levodopa is broken down in your
body.
Numient is used to improve the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease in
adults.
