Tidomet LS Tablet is taken orally.

Tidomet LS Tablet is a combination medicine that includes two active ingredients:

• Carbidopa (10 mg): This ingredient is a decarboxylase inhibitor, which means it blocks the action of an enzyme that breaks down levodopa in the peripheral tissues before it reaches the brain. This allows more levodopa to reach the brain and reduces peripheral side effects like nausea and vomiting.

• Levodopa (100 mg): This is a precursor to dopamine. It crosses the blood-brain barrier and is converted into dopamine in the brain. This helps replenish the deficient neurotransmitter and thus helps manage motor symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease.

Together, these ingredients work to manage the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and Parkinsonism by increasing the levels of dopamine in the brain.

• Store Tidomet LS Tablet at room temperature.

• Keep away from direct light, heat, and moisture to maintain the medication's effectiveness.

• Ensure the medicine is kept out of reach from children.

• Always check the expiry date on the package before taking Tidomet LS Tablet.

• For effectively managing Parkinson's disease with Tidomet LS Tablet, consider incorporating physical activities like walking or yoga into your daily routine. Regular exercise can improve your balance, strength, and motor coordination.

• Also, follow a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Certain foods rich in fibre might help manage constipation, a common concern for individuals living with Parkinson's disease. However, consult with your doctor about proper meal timing, as high-protein foods may interfere with the absorption of levodopa.
