Stalevo (Carbidopa/Levodopa/Entacapone) is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, a condition where the brain has trouble controlling movements, causing shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance. Its active ingredients include carbidopa, levodopa, and entacapone. It belongs to the class of drugs known as dopaminergic agents. Carbidopa and levodopa work together to increase dopamine levels in the brain, which helps alleviate symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Entacapone prolongs the effects of levodopa by inhibiting its breakdown in the body, thereby enhancing its effectiveness in managing Parkinson's symptoms.
