Buy Prolopa

Prolopa (Levodopa/Benserazide) is used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, including tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. It helps to improve the motor function and quality of life of people with Parkinson's disease. It contains two active ingredients: levodopa and benserazide. Levodopa is a precursor to dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in movement control. Benserazide is a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor that prevents levodopa from being broken down in the body before it reaches the brain. This allows more levodopa to reach the brain and be converted into dopamine, subsequently leading to an increase in dopamine levels in the brain to compensate for dopamine deficiency in Parkinson's disease, thereby alleviating the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
