Sinemet (active ingredients: carbidopa and levodopa) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Parkinson’s Disease: Sinemet is used for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurological disorder characterized by tremors, muscle stiffness, slowness of movement, and impaired balance and coordination.

Sinemet belongs to a class of drugs known as dopaminergic agents. It contains a combination of carbidopa and levodopa. Carbidopa enhances the effectiveness of levodopa by preventing its breakdown in the bloodstream before it reaches the brain. Together, carbidopa and levodopa help to increase dopamine levels in the brain, which improves motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease.

Sinemet is available in tablet form and is taken by mouth with or without food as directed by a healthcare provider, typically 3 to 4 times a day. It may be beneficial to take Sinemet with food to minimize nausea, but a high-protein diet should be avoided as it can reduce the amount of levodopa absorbed by the body, unless directed otherwise by a doctor. To ensure that Sinemet is absorbed properly, take it at least a few hours apart from any iron supplements or products containing iron, such as multivitamins with minerals. Patients should consult with their doctor or pharmacist for more information about taking Sinemet, including any possible drug interactions and specifically tailored instructions for their medication regimen.

The recommended starting dosage of Sinemet is typically one tablet of 25 mg carbidopa / 100 mg levodopa, taken three times per day. Dosage may be increased by up to 1 whole tablet per day or every other day, as needed, to a maximum dosage of 8 tablets per day. The dosage should be adjusted by a healthcare professional as needed and based on individual patient factors. It is also worth noting that the maximum daily recommended dose of carbidopa is 200 mg.
