What is Levopa C?

Levopa C is a combination of two medicines: Levodopa and Carbidopa. This medication is used to treat the symptoms of Parkinsons disease like tremors (shaking), stiffness and slowness of movement. These symptoms are caused due to the lack of dopamine, a natural substance usually found in the brain. Levodopa works by being converted to dopamine in the brain.
