Synamet Plus Tablet 100 mg+25 mg+200 mg is a combination medicine used for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, especially in patients with advanced symptoms or motor fluctuations. It contains Levodopa, Carbidopa, and Entacapone, which work together to improve movement control, reduce tremors, and provide more stable symptom relief throughout the day.
This triple therapy helps maintain consistent dopamine levels in the brain and reduces “wearing-off” effects commonly seen with Levodopa therapy alone.

Composition
-
Levodopa 100 mg
-
Carbidopa 25 mg

Entacapone 200 mg
-

Indications
Synamet Plus Tablet is indicated for:

Wearing-off effect of Levodopa therapy

How Synamet Plus Tablet Works
This combination works through three complementary mechanisms:
-
Levodopa: Converts into dopamine in the brain, improving movement and coordination.
-
Carbidopa: Prevents premature breakdown of Levodopa in the body, increasing its availability in the brain and reducing side effects like nausea.
-
Entacapone: Inhibits the COMT enzyme, prolonging the effect of Levodopa and helping maintain steady dopamine levels.
Together, they provide smoother and longer-lasting control of Parkinson’s symptoms.

Take exactly as prescribed by a physician.
-
Usually taken with or after Levodopa doses as part of a scheduled regimen.
-
Can be taken with or without food, but consistent timing is important.
