Stalevo 50 mg/12.5 mg/200 mg – 30 Film-Coated Tablets

Stalevo 50 mg/12.5 mg/200 mg is a prescription combination medicine used to treat adult patients with Parkinson's disease who experience end-of-dose motor fluctuations that are not adequately stabilized with levodopa plus a dopa-decarboxylase (DDC) inhibitor therapy.

Each tablet combines three active ingredients: Levodopa 50 mg, Carbidopa 12.5 mg, and Entacapone 200 mg. Levodopa is converted into dopamine in the brain, carbidopa reduces the peripheral breakdown of levodopa, and entacapone inhibits COMT to help prolong the therapeutic effect of levodopa.

This three-in-one combination helps improve control of Parkinson's motor symptoms and reduce wearing-off periods between levodopa doses in appropriately selected patients.
