Levodopa / Carbidopa Mnemonic for Nursing Pharmacology (NCLEX)

Study this Levodopa / Carbidopa NCLEX mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize.
Levodopa and carbidopa are medications given in combination to treat Parkinson’s disease. Levodopa can cross the blood brain barrier to enter the brain, where it is converted into dopamine. Carbidopa on the other hand, is given along with levodopa to help more levodopa reach the brain. This drug combination is very effective in treating the symptoms of parkinson’s disease. Side effects include psychiatric disturbances and orthostatic hypotension. Levodopa and carbidopa must not be stopped suddenly, or a paralysis known as akinetic crisis can occur. Instead, the patient should taper off the drug slowly.

It seems like you can bring more leaves (levodopa) when you put it in cardboard (carbidopa) than just getting leaves alone with your hands to cross the BBB
