Drug to drug interaction with anticholinergic drugs and NSAIDS.
levodopa/carbidopa
Anti-Parkinson agent/ dopamine agonist. Treatment of Parkinson's dz. These drugs are not useful for drug induced extrapyramidal reactions. Action: Levodopa is converted to dopamine in the CNS, where is serves as a neurotransmitter. Carbidopa, a decardoxylase inhibitor, prevents peripheral destruction of levodopa. Consequently more levodopa is delivered to the CNS using a smaller dose when used with carbidopa.
