Levodopa

Uses

Levodopa is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

How it Works

Levodopa works by being converted into dopamine, a chemical messenger essential for controlling movement through the transmission of signals in the brain.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Levodopa include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, loss of appetite, orthostatic hypotension (sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing), and akathisia (inability to remain still).

Expert Advice

  • Take the medication with or without food, or as directed by your doctor.
  • Avoid a high-protein diet (e.g., meat, eggs, and dairy products) while taking this medicine, as it can reduce the medication's absorption in your body.
  • Avoid vitamin supplements while taking Levodopa, as they may decrease the effectiveness of the medication.
  • Be aware that this medication may cause dizziness.
  • Do not drive or engage in activities that require mental focus until you understand how this medication affects you.
  • When starting the medication, get out of bed slowly, as it may cause lightheadedness or fainting.
  • Inform your doctor if you experience an urge to gamble, increased sexual urges, binge eating, or uncontrolled spending.
  • Do not stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor first.
