			==Common Strengths of Stalevo==
			Stalevo is available in six strengths, each containing a specific ratio of its components:
			*Stalevo 50: 12.5 mg carbidopa, 50 mg levodopa, 200 mg entacapone
			*Stalevo 75: 18.75 mg carbidopa, 75 mg levodopa, 200 mg entacapone
			*Stalevo 100: 25 mg carbidopa, 100 mg levodopa, 200 mg entacapone
			*Stalevo 125: 31.25 mg carbidopa, 125 mg levodopa, 200 mg entacapone
			*Stalevo 150: 37.5 mg carbidopa, 150 mg levodopa, 200 mg entacapone
			*Stalevo 200: 50 mg carbidopa, 200 mg levodopa, 200 mg entacapone

			==Drug Trade Name==
			The primary trade name for this medication is Stalevo.

			==Drug Usage==
			Stalevo is used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease, including tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with movement. It dose not cure the disease but helps manage its symptoms.

			==Mechanism of Action==
			Stalevo consists of three active ingredients: carbidopa, levodopa, and entacapone.

			The mechanism involves:
			*Levodopa converting to dopamine in the brain.
			*Carbidopa prevents the premature conversion of levodopa to dopamine outside the brain.
			*Entacpone inhibits the COMT enzyme to prolong the effect of levodopa by preventing its breakdown.

			==Route of Administration==
			Stalevo is administered orally, typically as a film-coated tablet.

			==Dosages==
			Dosage adjustments depend on individual patient needs and conditions.

			==Side Effects==

			\|}

			==Pharmacokinetics==
			The pharmacokinetics of Stalevo show:
			*Peak concentrations for carbidopa at approximately 2.5 to 3.4 hours, while entacapone peaks at about 0.8 to 1.2 hours post-administration.
			*The duration of action can vary but generally lasts several hours depending on individual metabolism and dosage.

			==Drug Precautions==
			'''Pregnancy

			Stalevo falls under Category C; risks versus benefits should be evaluated before use during pregnancy.

			'''Breastfeeding

			Caution is advised; consult a healthcare provider regarding risk to the infant.

			'''Drug Monitoring Items

			Regular monitoring includes:
			*Blood pressure checks
			*Renal function tests (eGFR)
			*Monitoring for dyskinesias or other movement disorders, may occur or worsen with Stalevo. Regular assessments are necessary to determine if dosage adjustments are needed.
			*Mental Health Monitoring: Patients should be closely observed for mental changes, including depression and suicidal tendencies.
			*Impulse Control Disorders: Patients and caregivers should be informed about the risk of impulse control disorders, which can manifest as compulsive behaviors such as gambling or eating.
			*INR Monitoring: For patients on warfarin, monitoring of INR levels is recommended when initiating Stalevo therapy due to potential interaction

			'''Drug Interactions

			Notable interaction include:
			*Contraindications with MAO Inhibitors: Concurrent use with non-selective MAO inhibitors (like phenelzine) can lead to severe hypertension.
			*Dopamine Antagonists: Medications such as antipsychotics and antiemetics may reduce the effectiveness of Stalevo.
			*Tricyclic Antidepressants: These can increase the risk of hypertension and dyskinesia when used alongside Stalevo.
			*Phenytoin and Papaverine: These drugs may diminish the therqpeutic efects of levodopa.

			Food interactions:
			*High-protein meals can impair the absorption of levodopa.
			*Alcohol may exacerbate side effects like dizziness or drowsiness.

			==FAQ==
			'''How Should I Take the Tablet?

			Usually with food to minimize gastrointestinal upset.

			'''What Should I Avoid While Taking?

			Avoid consuming high-protein meals close to dosing time as they may interfere with the absorption of levodopa.

			'''What Happens if I Miss a Dose?

			If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is close to the time for your next dose; do not double up on doses.
