What is Carbidopa?

Carbidopa is a generic prescription drug that treats Parkinson's disease, a progressive brain disorder that that causes involuntary muscle movements (dyskinesia), loss of coordination, and difficulty walking or balancing due to a shortage of dopamine, an important chemical for transmitting signals between nerve cells.

Levodopa is prescribed to replace dopamine, but the body breaks it down before it can get to the brain. Carbidopa blocks a protein that breaks down levodopa, so more levodopa is able to cross into the brain.

Levodopa and Carbidopa are almost always combined into a single medication. However, Carbidopa is sometimes prescribed separately if a larger Carbidopa dose is required or if the patient is suffering from nausea due to the levodopa and needs a lower dose.
