What is Carbidopa-Levodopa-Entacapone?

Carbidopa-Levodopa-Entacapone is a combination prescription drug that treats Parkinson's disease, a progressive brain disorder that decreases the amount of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine passes signals between nerve cells in the brain and as it declines, patients lose control of muscle movements, starts to lose coordination and balance, and has difficulty walking and using their bodies.

Levodopa and carbidopa are the standard drug treatment for Parkinson's. Entacapone increases the effectiveness of this combination. Levodopa is the “foundation” molecule of dopamine. The brain makes dopamine by starting with levodopa. However, the body breaks down levodopa; if it is taken as a drug, most of it will be broken down before it has a chance to cross the blood-brain barrier. Both carbidopa and entacapone block a protein that breaks down levodopa, so more levodopa is able to cross into the brain.

Carbidopa-Levodopa-Entacapone is taken as a tablet. The ratio of carbidopa to levodopa will be varied across Carbidopa-Levodopa-Entacapone tablets, but every Carbidopa-Levodopa-Entacapone tablet will use 200 mg of entacapone. The ratio of carbidopa to levodopa as well as the dose will depend on the responsiveness of the condition to treatment.
