Benserazide (Benseravde)

Benserazide is a drug that prevents the breakdown of levodopa into dopamine outside the brain by inhibiting the production of the enzyme dopa decarboxylase. Prescribed orally in combination with levodopa (for example, with madopar (Madorag)); used for the treatment of postencephalitic parkinsonism (parkinsonism that developed after encephalitis).

Possible side effects when taking benserazide:

1. Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite
2. Involuntary movements
3. Dizziness while standing

Benserazide inhibits the activity of the enzyme dopa decarboxylase, thereby preventing the conversion of levodopa to dopamine before it reaches the brain. This allows you to increase the concentration of levodopa that penetrates the brain and enhance its therapeutic effect in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. A combination drug containing benserazide and levodopa is called madopar.

Benserazide is a drug used to treat parkinsonism. It prevents the breakdown of levodopa, which is a drug used to treat Parkinson's disease. Benserazide works by inhibiting the enzyme dopa decarboxylase, which is responsible for breaking down levodopa.

Benserazide is prescribed orally along with levodopa, for example, with Madopar. The drug is intended for the treatment of postencephalitic parkinsonism - parkinsonism that develops after encephalitis.

Possible side effects from taking benserazide may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, involuntary movements and dizziness. However, these side effects are usually not serious and go away when you stop taking the drug.

Overall, benserazide is an effective drug for the treatment of parkinsonism and can be used in combination with other drugs to achieve the best results. However, before starting treatment, you must consult your doctor and follow his recommendations.

Benserazide is an antidiarrhetic agent. The drug is developed for use in parkinsonism caused by Parkinson's disease. Administered orally.

The main effect of the drug is to suppress the breakdown of levodopa inside the body, which prevents its rapid oxidation into dopamine and thus
