Neudopa 275Mg Tablets - Buy Online at DVAGO®

How it works

It contains two different medicines called: levodopa and carbidopa. • Levodopa turns into a material called ‘dopamine’ in your brain. The dopamine helps to improve the signs of your Parkinson’s disease. • Carbidopa belongs to a group of medicines called ‘aromatic amino acid decarboxylase inhibitors’. It helps levodopa work more effectively by slowing the speed at which levodopa is broken down in your body.
