Carbidopa

A dopa decarboxylase inhibitor that does not enter the brain: combined with levodopa for Parkinson's disease, in a combination approved in the United States in 1975, it stops levodopa from turning into dopamine before it reaches the brain. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.

Did you know?It was born in the 1960s among analogues of methyldopa, a blood-pressure medicine; given with levodopa, it extends levodopa's half-life in the blood from about 50 minutes to an hour and a half.
