WHAT CELTOR IS USED FOR
It
is
used
for
the
treatment
of
Parkinson’s disease.
HOW CELTOR WORKS
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
anti-Parkinson effects of Levodopa.

PHARMACODYNAMICS
According to the current understanding, the symptoms of Parkinson's
disease are related
to depletion of dopamine in the corpus striatum. Dopamine does not
cross the blood-brain
barrier. Levodopa, the precursor of dopamine, crosses the blood brain
barrier and relieves
the symptoms of the disease. As levodopa is extensively metabolised in
the periphery,
only a small portion of a given dose reaches the central nervous
system when levodopa is
administered without metabolic enzyme inhibitors.
Carbidopa and benserazide are peripheral (dopa decarboxylase) DDC
inhibitors which
reduce the peripheral metabolism of levodopa to dopamine, and thus,
more levodopa is
available to the brain. When decarboxylation of levodopa is reduced
with the co-
administration of a DDC inhibitor, a lower dose of levodopa can be
used and the
incidence of adverse reactions such as nausea is reduced.
With inhibition of the decarboxylase by a DDC inhibitor,
catechol-O-methyltransferase
(COMT) becomes the major peripheral metabolic pathway catalyzing the
conversi
