Indications:
BILEXA (BEXICAP) 200/25 is indicated for:
Treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease symptoms.
Management of motor fluctuations such as "wearing-off" and "on-off" phenomena.
Reduction of bradykinesia, rigidity, and tremors associated with Parkinson’s disease.
Pharmacology:
Levodopa (200 mg): Converts to dopamine in the brain, replenishing depleted dopamine levels to relieve Parkinson’s symptoms.
Carbidopa (25 mg): Inhibits peripheral decarboxylation of Levodopa, ensuring greater availability in the central nervous system and reducing peripheral side effects like nausea.
Dosage and Administration:
Adults: 1 capsule taken 2-3 times daily, or as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
Administer with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects, though high-protein meals should be avoided as they may interfere with Levodopa absorption.
Interaction:
Do not use with non-selective MAO inhibitors due to severe hypertensive risk.
Protein-rich diets or iron supplements may decrease the effectiveness of Levodopa.
Monitor interactions with antihypertensive agents, antidepressants, or antipsychotic drugs.
Contraindications:
Hypersensitivity to Levodopa, Carbidopa, or other components.
Patients with narrow-angle glaucoma or severe psychiatric disorders.
Use with non-selective monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
Side Effects:
Common: Nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, orthostatic hypotension.
Rare: Dyskinesia, hallucinations, mood swings, or confusion.
Pregnancy & Lactation:
Use only if the benefits outweigh risks during pregnancy.
Caution is advised for breastfeeding mothers due to potential adverse effects on the infant.
Precautions & Warnings:
Titrate dosage gradually to minimize side effects.
Avoid abrupt withdrawal, as it may lead to a Parkinsonian crisis.
Monitor patients for psychiatric changes or motor complications like dyskinesia.
