STALEVO is a drug used to treat Parkinson's disease. Its main ingredients include Levodopa, Carbidopa and Entacapone. Levodopa helps increase dopamine levels in the brain to improve motor control, Carbidopa helps reduce the breakdown of Levodopa before it is metabolized, and Entacapone prolongs the action of Levodopa. This medication is often used to control the movement symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as tremors, muscle stiffness, and slowness of movement. Patients should take the medication regularly as recommended by their doctor and avoid stopping use suddenly. Possible side effects include headache, nausea, vomiting and insomnia. While taking STALEVO, patients should avoid tyramine-containing foods, such as dairy products and chocolate, to avoid affecting the efficacy of the drug. If there are any adverse reactions or questions, patients should check with their doctor immediately.
Instructions for use: Please take the medication before meals and follow your physician's instructions. Avoid taking it at the same time as high-protein foods, at least 30 minutes apart. Avoid activities that require high alertness while taking this medication. If you have any discomfort, please consult your doctor immediately.
Dosage Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is one tablet three times daily. Based on symptoms and physician instructions, the dosage may be adjusted to a maximum of nine tablets per day. The dosage for children needs to be determined individually based on age and weight. Please ask a physician to evaluate and give the appropriate dosage. Do not adjust your dose or stop using this medication unless approved by your doctor.
