Prolopa (active ingredients: levodopa and benserazide) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Parkinson’s Disease: Prolopa is used to manage the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, including tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement).
  2. Parkinsonism: It is indicated for the treatment of parkinsonism, a condition characterized by symptoms similar to Parkinson’s disease, often resulting from other causes.

Prolopa belongs to a class of drugs known as dopaminergic agents, which work by increasing dopamine levels in the brain to help improve motor control and reduce the symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease and parkinsonism.

Prolopa is taken orally in the form of capsules, with food as directed by the doctor, usually 4 to 6 times a day. The capsules should be swallowed whole and should not be opened or dissolved in any liquid. Avoid a high-protein diet during treatment, unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Iron supplements or products containing iron (such as multivitamins with minerals) should be taken at separate times, as iron can reduce the amount of levodopa absorbed by the body.

The dosage of Prolopa is based on the patient’s medical condition and response to treatment. To reduce the risk of side effects, the doctor may direct the patient to start with a low dose and gradually increase it according to their instructions.

Some patients may experience a “wearing-off” (worsening of symptoms) before the next dose is due, or an “on-off” effect with sudden short periods of stiffness. If these effects occur, the doctor should be contacted for possible dose adjustments.

Prolopa should not be stopped suddenly without consulting the doctor, as doing so may cause withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, depression, confusion, fever, and muscle stiffness. To prevent withdrawal, the doctor may lower the dose gradually, especially if the medication has been used for a long time or in high doses. If withdrawal symptoms occur, the doctor or pharmacist should be informed immediately.
