Sinemet CR (active ingredients: carbidopa and levodopa) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Parkinson’s Disease: Sinemet CR is used for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, helping to manage symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement.
  2. Parkinsonism: It is also indicated for the treatment of parkinsonism, which can result from other conditions or the use of certain medications.

Sinemet CR belongs to a class of drugs known as dopamine precursors. Levodopa works by being converted to dopamine in the brain, helping to improve movement control, while carbidopa helps prevent the breakdown of levodopa before it reaches the brain, increasing its effectiveness.

Sinemet CR comes in the form of tablet to take by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually 2 to 3 times a day. Doses are usually taken 4 to 8 hours apart while awake. Doing so can release all the drug at once, increasing side effects risk. Swallow the whole or split tablet without crushing or chewing. Also, do not split the tablets unless they have a score line, and your doctor or pharmacist tells you to do so.

Taking Sinemet CR with food may help to decrease nausea. Avoid a high-protein diet (it decreases the amount of levodopa that your body takes in) during treatment, unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Separate your dose of this medication for as many hours as possible from any iron supplements or products containing iron (such as multivitamins with minerals) you may take. Iron can reduce the amount of this medication absorbed by the body. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.

Use Sinemet CR tablet regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Do not stop taking Sinemet CR tablet without consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when Sinemet CR is suddenly stopped. Also, if you suddenly stop using the tablet, you may have withdrawal symptoms (such as anxiety, depression, confusion, fever, muscle stiffness). To help prevent withdrawal, your doctor may lower your dose slowly. Withdrawal is more likely if you have used this medication for a long time or in high doses. Tell your doctor or pharmacist right away if you have withdrawal.
