SYNDOPA PLUS Tablet 10’s

SYNDOPA PLUS Tablet 10’s is a combination medication used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and Parkinson-like symptoms. It contains Levodopa, which converts into dopamine in the brain to help control movement, and Carbidopa, which prevents the early breakdown of Levodopa before it reaches the brain.
