Lodosyn (active ingredient: carbidopa) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:
Lodosyn belongs to a class of drugs known as decarboxylase inhibitors, which work by inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down levodopa in the peripheral tissues, allowing more levodopa to reach the brain where it is needed.
Carbidopa comes as a tablet medication that is taken orally with or without food, as directed by your doctor. Your doctor may direct you to take the tablet at the same time as one, some, or all your levodopa/carbidopa doses, carefully follow their instructions. Your dosage will be based on your medical condition and how you respond to the treatment.
The recommended dosage of carbidopa tablet may vary depending on your medical condition and how you respond to the treatment. According to Medscape, the initial dosage of carbidopa for levodopa-naive patients is 25 mg three or four times a day. The dosage may be increased or decreased by 1/2 or 1 tablet a day in accordance with the therapeutic and adverse responses observed. Dosage adjustments should be made by physicians familiar with the patient. However, consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.
To get the most benefit from Carbidopa, it should be taken regularly at the same time(s) each day. Some patients may experience a “wearing-off” effect, where their symptoms worsen before the next dose is due, or an “on-off” effect, where sudden short periods of stiffness occur. If these effects occur, contact your doctor for possible dose adjustments that may help to lessen this effect.
Do not stop taking Carbidopa and the levodopa-containing product without consulting your doctor, as some conditions may become worse when these drugs are quickly reduced or suddenly stopped. If your doctor decides to stop your medication, they will likely gradually reduce your dosage over time to prevent any negative effects.
Lodosyn (Carbidopa) is available in the following forms and strength:
Long-term use of Lodosyn may lead to dyskinesia, a movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle movements, such as twitching or twisting.
The time it takes for Lodosyn to start working can vary, but it typically starts working within 30 minutes to an hour after taking it.
Yes, suddenly stopping Lodosyn can cause withdrawal symptoms, such as muscle stiffness, tremors, and confusion. It should be gradually tapered off under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
Lodosyn is usually taken three to four times per day, at evenly spaced intervals, with or without food. The dosing schedule will depend on the individual’s condition and response to the medication.
