Prolopa (levodopa/benserazide)
Indications
- Parkinson’s Disease: Prolopa is primarily indicated for treating Parkinson’s disease, a neurological disorder characterized by tremors, rigidity, and slowed movements. It helps manage these symptoms by replenishing dopamine levels in the brain.
- Parkinsonism: It is also prescribed for Parkinsonism, a condition with similar symptoms to Parkinson’s disease caused by other factors like medications or injuries.
- Off Episodes in Parkinson’s: Prolopa can be used to manage “off” episodes where the medication’s effects wear off before the next dose, leading to a return of symptoms.
Ingredients
- Active Ingredients: Levodopa, Benserazide.
- Inactive Ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, talc, magnesium stearate, corn starch, lactose monohydrate, gelatin, titanium dioxide, iron oxide red.
- Dosage and Administration
- Take Prolopa exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider, typically divided into several doses throughout the day.
- Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water; do not crush or chew it.
- Take Prolopa with or shortly after meals to reduce nausea, though be mindful of your protein intake as it can affect absorption.
- Avoid high-protein meals close to your dose, as they can interfere with the absorption of Levodopa.
- Do not skip doses; consistency is crucial in managing Parkinson’s symptoms, and skipping doses can lead to a return of symptoms or “off” episodes.
- Do not stop taking Prolopa suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this can cause severe complications, including a sudden worsening of symptoms.
Mechanism of Action
Prolopa combines two active ingredients: Levodopa and Benserazide. Levodopa is converted into dopamine in the brain, a neurotransmitter that is deficient in Parkinson’s patients. Benserazide inhibits the breakdown of Levodopa outside the brain, ensuring more reaches the brain to be converted into dopamine. This dual action helps reduce symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement.
Contraindications
- If you are allergic to Levodopa, Benserazide, or any other ingredient in Prolopa, you should not take this medication.
- Prolopa is contraindicated in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma as it can increase eye pressure.
- If you have severe heart disease or a history of a recent heart attack, Prolopa should be avoided due to the risk of cardiovascular complications.
- Do not take Prolopa if you are currently using or have recently used monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), as this combination can cause severe hypertension.
