Bidopal 500mg Tablet
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Bidopal 500mg Tablet is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. This medicine helps to treat excessive shaking by slowing down the body movements.
Bidopal 500mg Tablet should be taken with food to avoid stomach upset. However, take it at the same time each day as this helps to maintain a consistent level of medicine in the body. Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor and if you have missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember it. You should never skip any doses and try to finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better.
Do not stop taking it suddenly without talking to your doctor as it can result in harmful effects. It is important to note that this drug may cause addiction in some individuals. It may be contraindicated if you have narrow-angle glaucoma or skin cancer, or have a history of fits.
This medicine may cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, muscle contraction, and movement disorder. Initially, this medicine may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure when you change positions, so it is better to rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down. It causes a sudden onset of dizziness and sleepiness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. If you are undergoing any tests for urine glucose or urine ketones, it may cause the results of some tests to be wrong and even changes the color of urine, so consult your doctor before getting any such tests.
