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

  1. Parkinson’s Disease: Prolopa Dispersible is used to manage symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, including tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement), by increasing dopamine levels in the brain.
  2. Parkinsonism: It is also indicated for the treatment of parkinsonism, a group of disorders that cause tremors, stiffness, and other symptoms similar to Parkinson’s disease.

Prolopa Dispersible belongs to a class of drugs known as dopaminergic agents. It combines levodopa, a precursor to dopamine, with benserazide, which helps prevent levodopa from being converted to dopamine outside the brain, thereby increasing its availability in the brain and improving symptom control.

Prolopa Dispersible comes in the form of orally disintegrating tablets, which should be taken by mouth as directed by your healthcare professional. The tablet should be placed on your tongue and allowed to dissolve. It should not be swallowed whole, as it is specifically designed to dissolve in your mouth. Take Prolopa with or without food, at the same time each day, to maintain a consistent level of medication in your system.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on several factors, such as your medical condition, age, and other medications you may be taking. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and do not exceed the prescribed dosage of Prolopa. If you have any questions or concerns regarding how to use the medication, please speak with your healthcare provider.

Take Prolopa exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
