Why is Carbidopa admistered with L-Dopa?
L-Dopa is a prodrug used to treat Parkinson's Disease. It crosses the blood brain barrier with the aid of Phe-Trp-L-aromatic acid transporters and is then turned into dopamine through decarboxylation. However, it is also capable of producing large amounts of dopamine in peripheral areas by stimulating the chemoreceptor trigger zone and these dopamine can produce side effects in peripheral body parts. Carbidopa is hence added to inhibit DOPA decarboxylase in peripheral areas so that there will be fewer of these side effects.
How to avoid giving levodopa in high dose to Parkinson's patients?
Although levodopa can cross our BBB, but it will be decarboxylated to dopamine peripherally before reaching our CNS - only small amount of Levodopa will be left and available to pass our BBB.So, instead of giving levodopa in high dose (which can cause lots of side effects), we give levodopa with peripheral decarboxylase inhibitors (e.g. carbidopa, benserazide) which can inhibit decarboxylation of levodopa in GIT and peripheral tissues. (By combining levodopa and peripheral decarobxylase inhibitors, we will have less side effects too)
