LCD 250 CR TABLET

LCD 250 CR TABLET is a combination of Carbidopa and Levodopa which belongs to the group of medicines called Antiparkinsonian drugs. It is used to improve the signs of Parkinsonism. Parkinsonism is a long-term illness caused due to loss of nerve cells in the part of the brain which is responsible for producing dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical messenger that controls body balance and movements. Symptoms of parkinsonism include slow and unsteady movements, muscle tightness, shaking or trembling, difficulty in walking, balance and coordination. LCD 250 CR TABLET must be used with caution among patients having any form of glaucoma (increased pressure in the eyes), as it can lead to further damage to the eye. LCD 250 CR TABLET is not recommended for use in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, including children and adolescents (aged below 18 years). It is important for caregivers to notice and report doctor immediately that if the patient develops any addictive symptoms like craving for large doses of LCD 250 CR TABLET, unusual behavior, gambling, excessive eating or spending, an abnormally high sex drive or any other activities that could harm themselves or others. Try to avoid eating a heavy meal that includes a lot of protein (such as beef, pork, cheese, fish and eggs) while taking LCD 250 CR TABLET, as it may interfere with its absorption. The common side effects of taking LCD 250 CR TABLET are nausea, vomiting, abnormal muscle movements, loss of appetite, dry mouth, bitter taste and tiredness. Consult your doctor if any of the side effects worsen.

scienceMechanism of Action (How it works)

expand_more

LCD 250 CR TABLET effectively controls the signs of parkinsonism, where levodopa acts by converting itself into a substance called dopamine (a chemical messenger that controls body movement) and carbidopa acts by managing the breakdown of levodopa outside the brain, thereby allowing greater proportion of levodopa to enter the brain. Collectively they supplement the brain with sufficient dopamine levels which ultimately results in improving the signs of parkinsonism.
