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

  1. Parkinson’s Disease: Prolopa CR is used to treat symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, including tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement).
  2. Parkinsonism: It is also indicated for managing parkinsonism, a condition with similar symptoms that may be caused by other neurological disorders.

Prolopa CR belongs to a class of drugs known as dopaminergic agents. It combines a dopamine precursor (levodopa) with a dopa decarboxylase inhibitor (benserazide) to increase dopamine levels in the brain and improve motor function.

Prolopa CR is available in capsule form and should be taken orally with or without food, one to three times per day. It should be taken exactly as prescribed by a doctor. It should not be crushed or split as it is designed to release the active ingredients slowly over time. Altering the medication can affect its release pattern and effectiveness.

The dosage and frequency of the medication may vary depending on the individual’s specific symptoms. Take Prolopa CR at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level of medication in the body.

If you miss a dose of Prolopa CR, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not double up on doses to make up for a missed one.
