Levodopa + Benserazide - Brands

Dopamine, which acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain, is not present in sufficient quantities in the basal ganglia of parkinsonian patients. Levodopa or L-DOPA (3,4-dihydroxy phenylalanine) is an intermediate in dopamine biosynthesis. Levodopa (dopamine precursor) is used as a prodrug to increase dopamine levels since it is able to cross the blood-brain barrier whereas dopamine itself cannot. Once levodopa has entered the central nervous system, it is metabolised to dopamine by aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase After administration, levodopa is rapidly decarboxylated to dopamine in extracerebral as well as cerebral tissues. As a result, most of the levodopa administered is not available to the basal ganglia, and the dopamine produced peripherally frequently causes unwanted effects. It is therefore particularly desirable to inhibit extracerebral decarboxylation of levodopa. This can be achieved by simultaneous administration of levodopa and benserazide, a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor. This preparation is a combination of these two substances in a ratio of 4:1- this ratio having proved optimal in clinical trials and therapeutic use- and is just as effective as large doses of levodopa given alone.
