WHAT MADOPAR IS USED FOR
The name of your medicine is
Madopar. It contains two active
ingredients called levodopa and
benserazide.
The symptoms of patients suffering
from Parkinson’s disease can be
reduced by taking this medicine.
Madopar does not, however, cure the
disease, since the cause of the
dopamine deficiency within the brain
is not removed.
Your doctor, however, may have
prescribed Madopar for another
purpose.
Ask your doctor if you have any
questions why Madopar has been
prescribed for you.
This medicine is available only with
a doctor's prescription.
HOW MADOPAR WORKS
Madopar belongs to a group of
medicines called antiparkinsonian
agents and is used for the treatment
of Parkinson’s disease.
Antiparkinsonian agents are used to
treat Parkinson's disease and work on
the central nervous system. The
symptoms of Parkinson's disease are
caused by a deficiency of a natural
substance in the brain called
Dopamine. Madopar helps to replace
this substance. By improving muscle
control, Madopar allows more
normal movements of the body.
