Description

Madopar 250 Tablet is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. It helps to reduce excessive shaking by slowing down the body movements. It works by increasing the amount of chemical messenger that is needed to control abnormal movements. It is better to avoid high protein diet and dairy products while taking this medicine. Madopar 250 Tablet is a combination of Levodopa and Benserazide which treats Parkinsonism. Levodopa is a dopamine precursor which gets converted to dopamine, a chemical messenger that controls movement in the brain. Benserazide is a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor which prevents breakdown of levodopa allowing it to enter the brain and increase dopamine levels.
