WHAT STALEVO IS USED FOR
Stalevo contains three active
substances in one film-coated
tablet. Each tablet contains
levodopa, used to treat the
symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
The two other active substances:
carbidopa and entacapone
improve the antiparkinson effects
of levodopa.
HOW STALEVO WORKS
Your doctor has prescribed
Stalevo to treat your Parkinson's
disease.
Parkinson's disease is a disorder
of the nervous system. It is caused
by a lack of dopamine, a natural
substance that is produced in the
brain. Dopamine relays messages
in the part of the brain that
controls muscle movement. When
too little dopamine is produced,
problems with movement result.
Levodopa works by increasing the
level of dopamine in the brain.
Stalevo helps in relieving the
symptoms of Parkinson’s disease,
such as shaking of the limbs, and
stiffness and slowness of
movement, which make it
difficult to perform normal daily
activities.
You may also be given other
medicines to help treat this
condition.
Ask your doctor if you have any
questions about how this
medicine works or why this
medicine has been prescribed for
you.
BEFORE YOU USE STALEVO
_When you must not use it: _

(hypersensitive) to levodopa,

of Stalevo.

•
If you have narrow-angle
glaucoma (an eye disorder).
•
If you have a tumour of the
adrenal gland
(known as
pheochromocytoma; this may
increase the risk of severe
high blood pressure)
.
