Buy Sinemet
Sinemet (Carbidopa/Levodopa) is used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease is a chronic disorder characterized by slow and unsteady movement, muscular stiffness, and tremor. If untreated, Parkinson’s disease can cause difficulty in performing normal daily activities. It is believed that the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are caused by a lack of dopamine, a naturally occuring chemical produced by certain brain cells which has the role of relaying messages in certain regions of the brain that control muscle movement. Difficulty in movement results when too little dopamine is produced. Sinemet is a combination of levodopa, the metabolic precursor of dopamine, and carbidopa, an aromatic amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor. Levodopa changes into dopamine in the brain, helping to control movement and treats the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Carbidopa ensures that enough levodopa gets to the brain where it is needed. Carbidopa can also reduce some of levodopa's side effects such as nausea and vomiting.

Sinemet Side Effects:
Common side effects of Sinemet may include abnormal movements including twitching or spasms (which may or may not resemble your Parkinson’s symptoms); nausea; mental changes, dream abnormalities; hair loss; diarrhea; dizziness; vomiting; loss of appetite; and slow movement; dark colour (red, brown or black) may appear in your saliva, urine or sweat after you take Sinemet. Sinemet can cause somnolence (excessive drowsiness) and sudden sleep onset episodes. Therefore, you must refrain from driving or engaging in activities where impaired alertness may put yourself or others at risk of injury or death (e.g. operating machines) until such recurrent episodes and somnolence have resolved.
Contact your doctor immediately if you notice more serious side effects such as:
• Abnormal involuntary movements, such as spasms or twitching;
• Allergic reactions (red skin, hives, itching, swelling of the lips, face, tongue, throat, trouble breathing or swallowing);
• Changed patches of pigmented skin, including irritated or irregular moles, or moles in which you have noticed changes (melanoma);
• Excessive sleepiness, falling asleep without warning;
• Feeling of lightheaded-ness as when standing quickly;
• Hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not there);
• Uneven (irregular) heartbeat or palpitations
This is not a complete list of side effects. If you notice any other side effects not listed here, please contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Sinemet Directions:
Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor. Taking this medication with food may help to decrease nausea. It is best to avoid a high-protein diet (it decreases the amount of levodopa that your body takes in) during treatment, unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Separate your dose of this medication by as many hours as possible from any iron supplements or products containing iron (such as multivitamins with minerals) you may take. Iron can reduce the amount of this medication absorbed by the body. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. To reduce your risk of side effects, your doctor may direct you to start this medication at a low dose and gradually increase your dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully. This combination medication comes in different strengths with different amounts of carbidopa and levodopa in each tablet. Be sure you have the correct strength of both drugs. Your doctor may also prescribe carbidopa alone to be taken with this combination.
Sinemet Precautions:
Do not take Sinemet, if you are allergic to any of its ingredients; have any suspicious skin lesions (moles) or if you have ever had skin cancer; are being treated with certain MAO inhibitor drugs, such as for depression, within the last 2 weeks; have narrow-angle glaucoma; have untreated heart, liver, kidney, lung, blood or hormonal disease; have been told that you should not take sympathomimetic drugs such as isoproterenol, amphetamines, epinephrine or cough and cold medications containing drugs related to epinephrine. Before taking Sinemet, tell your physician or pharmacist if you have or have had any medical conditions including allergies; depression or mental disturbances; lung, kidney, liver, heart or hormonal problems; skin cancer or suspicious skin lesions; ulcer in your gut; convulsions/seizures; or glaucoma; have previously been treated with levodopa; are pregnant or plan to become pregnant; are breastfeeding or wish to breastfeed; are going to have an operation that requires general anesthesia; drive or operate machinery. Tell your doctor if you develop urges to gamble, increased sexual urges, excessive eating or spending, and/or other intense urges that could harm yourself or others. These behaviors are called impulse control disorders. Your doctor may need to review your treatments. It is not recommended to use Sinemet while you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Levodopa, one of the components of Sinemet, is passed into human milk. Sinemet should not be given to children under 18 years of age. Tell your physician about all medicines you are taking or plan to take, including those obtained without a prescription especially if you are taking antihypertensive drugs (used to treat elevated blood pressure); some medications used to treat psychiatric conditions or mental depression; tetrabenazine (medication used to treat conditions related to involuntary movements such as Huntingtons Disease); phenytoin (anti-epileptic medication); papaverine (medication for intestinal spasms); isoniazid (medication to treat tuberculosis); metoclopramide (for nausea and vomiting); iron salts (such as multivitamins tablets) which may reduce the amount of carbidopa and/or levodopa available to the body. A change in diet to foods that are high in protein (such as meat, fish, dairy products, seeds and nuts) may delay the absorption of levodopa and Sinemet may not work as well as it should.
