Prolopa (Levodopa/Benserazide) is a combination prescription medication used to treat Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease develops when the brain does not receive enough dopamine to allow the body to move normally. Levodopa belongs to the class of medications called central nervous system agents and it works by being converted to dopamine in the brain. Carbidopa belongs to the class of medications called decarboxylase inhibitors and it works by preventing Levodopa from being broken down before it reaches the brain. The recommended starting dose is one capsule once or twice a day.
