Read all of this leaflet carefully before you start taking this medicine.

■ Keep this leaflet. You may need to read it again.

■ If you have any further questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

■ This medicine has been prescribed for you. Do not pass it on to others. It may harm them, even if their symptoms are the same as yours.

5. How to store Sinemet

6. Further information

1. What Sinemet is and what it is used for

Sinemet improves the signs of Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is a long-term illness where:

■ you become slow and unsteady

■ your muscles feel stiff

■ you may develop shaking or trembling (called 'tremor').

If not treated, Parkinson's disease can make it hard for you to continue your normal daily activities.

Sinemet contains two different medicines called: levodopa and carbidopa.

■ levodopa turns into a material called 'dopamine' in your brain. The dopamine helps to improve the signs of your Parkinson's disease.

■ carbidopa belongs to a group of medicines called 'aromatic amino acid decarboxylase inhibitors'. It helps levodopa work more effectively by slowing the speed at which levodopa is broken down in your body.

2. Before you take Sinemet Do not take Sinemet if:

■ you are allergic (hypersensitive) to carbidopa or levodopa or any of the other ingredients of Sinemet (listed in Section 6)

■ you have ever had skin cancer or you have any unusual moles which have not been examined by your doctor

■ you are taking certain medicines called 'MAOIs' (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors) used for depression. You need to stop using these medicines at least two weeks before you start Sinemet (see also under 'Taking other medicines' below)

■ you have a condition called 'narrow-angle glaucoma' that may cause a sudden build up of pressure in the eye

■ you have a severe mental disorder

■ you are pregnant, might become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.

Do not take Sinemet if any of the above apply to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Sinemet.

Take special care with Sinemet

Tell your doctor if you or your family/carer notices you are developing urges or cravings to behave in ways that are unusual for you or you cannot resist the impulse, drive or temptation to carry out certain activities that could harm yourself or others. These behaviours are called impulse control disorders and can include addictive gambling, excessive eating or spending, an abnormally high sex drive or an increase in sexual thoughts or feelings. Your doctor may need to review your treatments.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking your medicine if:

■ you have a history of fits (convulsions)

■ you have had an ulcer in your gut (called 'duodenal' or 'peptic ulcer') or have vomited blood

■ you have had a heart attack, heart beat problems, circulation or breathing problems

■ you have had kidney, liver or hormonal problems

■ you have had depression or other mental problems

■ you have a condition called 'chronic wide-angle glaucoma' that may cause a build up of pressure in the eye. You will need to have regular checks on the pressure in your eye.

■ you sometimes have sudden sleep attacks or sometimes feel very sleepy

■ you are due to have surgery.

If you are not sure if any of the above apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Sinemet.

Taking other medicines

Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription. This includes herbal medicines. This is because Sinemet can affect the way some other medicines work. Also some other medicines can affect the way Sinemet works.

In particular tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following medicines:

■ Medicines for Parkinson's disease containing levodopa:

■ If they are 'slow release', you will need to wait 24 hours after your last dose before starting Sinemet.

■ If they are 'normal release', you will need to wait 12 hours after your last dose before starting Sinemet.

■ Tell the doctor or pharmacist even if you have only taken them in the past.

Medicines for Parkinson's disease which do not contain levodopa will usually be continued. However, your dose may be changed.

■ Medicines for mental problems (including depression), tuberculosis (TB), high blood pressure, muscle spasms, epilepsy or other diseases related to involuntary movements. Your dose may need to be changed.

Medicines to treat low iron. Your dose may need to be changed.

■ Medicines called 'MAOIs' (see also 'Do not take Sinemet if').

^■ Anticholinergic medicines (such as orphenadrine, trihexyphenidyl, benzatropine and procyclidine). Your dose may need to be changed.

■ Phenytoin which is used to treat fits (convulsions).

■ Papaverine which is used to treat impotence in men.

If you are not sure if any of the above apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine. Your doctor or pharmacist has a more complete list of medicines to avoid while taking Sinemet.
