D-DOPA 100 mg + 10 mg Tablet contains:
Levodopa 100 mg
Carbidopa 10 mg
It is an anti-Parkinson's medicine used to control the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Levodopa is converted into dopamine in the brain, helping restore the low dopamine levels responsible for Parkinson's symptoms. Carbidopa prevents the breakdown of levodopa before it reaches the brain, increasing its effectiveness and reducing side effects such as nausea.
