Stalevo active ingredients

Stalevo contains carbidopa, levodopa, and entacapone as active ingredients. Levodopa is converted into dopamine in the brain. Carbidopa and entacapone block enzymes from breaking down levodopa in the body. Carbidopa blocks the dopa decarboxylase, and entacapone blocks the enzyme catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT). This allows levodopa to work longer and helps improve the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
