Dear user. I can understand. ENTACOM PLUS 150 mg Tablet, Carbidopa belongs to the class of drugs called decarboxylase inhibitors. The drug acts by inhibiting the conversion of levodopa to dopamine in the bloodstream, thereby increasing the availability of dopamine in the brain and reducing the symptoms of Parkinsonism. Syndopa Plus Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Levodopa and Carbidopa which treat Parkinsonism. Levodopa is a dopamine precursor which gets converted to dopamine, a chemical messenger that controls movement in the brain. Carbidopa is a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor which prevents breakdown of levodopa allowing it to enter the brain and increase dopamine levels. I suggest you to consult a neurologist in person.
