Stalevo is a combination of Levodopa which gets converted to dopamine, a chemical messenger that controls movement in the brain. Carbidopa manages the breakdown of Levodopa by allowing it to enter the brain for increased dopamine levels and Entacapone maintains the level of levodopa in the blood. All these collective actions provide greater relief from the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
