The combination of carbidopa and levodopa works by increasing levels of dopamine in the brain, which helps to improve these symptoms. This medication is often prescribed when levodopa alone is not effective enough, as carbidopa helps to prevent the breakdown of levodopa in the bloodstream, allowing more of it to reach the brain.
