Overview

Apo-Levocarb 100/25mg Tablet contains Levodopa 100mg and Carbidopa 25mg and is available as a tablet. It is classified as a prescription medicine and may only be obtained with a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner.

Only product, safety and handling information is published here. Anything beyond that is explained to you directly by your doctor or pharmacist as part of your consultation.

DoctorOnCall is a licensed online pharmacy. Orders for Apo-Levocarb 100/25mg Tablet are processed only after a doctor has assessed your suitability and issued a prescription, and every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is sent out.

Directions for Use

Take Apo-Levocarb 100/25mg Tablet at consistent times each day as prescribed. High-protein meals can reduce levodopa absorption, so your doctor may advise taking it 30-60 minutes before meals or adjusting your protein intake timing. Do not stop or change the dose without medical advice.

Dosage

Apo-Levocarb 100/25mg Tablet dosing is highly individualised and adjusted by your neurologist based on your symptom control and response, often started at a lower dose and increased gradually, taken multiple times a day. The dosing schedule may need periodic fine-tuning as Parkinson’s disease progresses, so always follow your doctor’s current instructions.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Nausea
  • Dry mouth
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Abnormal movements (dyskinesia)
  • Loss of appetite
  • Fatigue
  • Constipation

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to levodopa or carbidopa
  • Narrow-angle (angle-closure) glaucoma
  • Use with non-selective monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), which must be stopped well before starting this medicine
  • Suspicious, undiagnosed skin lesions (levodopa may theoretically activate melanoma) – inform your doctor of any skin changes

Drug / Food Interactions

  • High-protein meals can reduce and delay the absorption of levodopa, potentially affecting symptom control
  • MAOIs and certain antidepressants can cause dangerous interactions and are generally avoided
  • Antipsychotic medicines that block dopamine can reduce the effectiveness of this medicine and worsen Parkinson’s symptoms
  • Iron supplements can reduce levodopa absorption if taken at the same time – space doses apart

Quick Tips

  • Take doses at consistent times to maintain steady symptom control
  • Discuss meal timing and protein intake with your doctor, as this can affect how well the medicine works
  • Report any new involuntary movements, hallucinations, or mood changes to your neurologist promptly
  • Never stop this medicine abruptly, as doing so can cause a serious worsening of Parkinson’s symptoms
