Synamet Tablet 100 mg+25 mg is a combination medicine used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and Parkinsonism. It contains Levodopa 100 mg and Carbidopa 25 mg, which work together to improve movement control, reduce tremors, and relieve muscle stiffness caused by low dopamine levels in the brain.
This formulation is commonly used when a stronger Carbidopa ratio is needed to enhance Levodopa effectiveness and reduce side effects.
