About Zandu Zandopa Powder

An ayurvedic preparation made from the seeds of Mucuna pruriens has a long history of use in Ayurvedic medicine for CNS disorders and as a geriatric tonic. It is also the richest natural source of L-dopa known to science, and it is more readily bioavailable than synthetic L-dopa.

Indication:

Parkinsonism that is idiopathic.

Composition

The seed powder of Kauncha (Mucuna pruriens), which has been standardly processed, weighs 6.525 g in each 7.5gm of flavoring.

Dosage

• NOT FOR MILK CONSUMPTION.
• Add the prescribed amount of powder to a half glass of water (roughly 100ml), stir, and drink right away.
• The powdered form of Zandopa contains approximately 7.5gm (approximately) of L-dopa, which is easily soluble in water.
• It may be suggested to patients who are having trouble swallowing the bulk of the medication to stir the powder in water for almost a minute before straining.
• The patient is then free to consume the clear solution that has been obtained.

SIDE EFFECTS:

• Along with a host of dyskinesias and psychiatric symptoms like agitation, hallucinations, delusions, and nightmares, side effects can include nausea, anorexia, cardiac irregularities, orthostatic hypotension, weight gain, hot flashes, and weight loss.
• With Zandopa, adverse reactions have not been as severe as those reported with synthetic L-dopa formulations.

PRECAUTIONS:

• While prescribing Zandopa, physicians should also abide by all known warnings and restrictions that apply to synthetic L-dopa formulations.
• When starting Zandopa therapy, patients who are taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors must stop taking them at least two weeks beforehand.
• When using zandopa for an extended period of time, it is advised to routinely evaluate your kidney, heart, liver, and haematopoietic systems.
• In cases of severe renal, hepatic, or endocrine disease, bronchial asthma, severe cardiovascular or pulmonary disease, peptic ulcer, or persistent narrow-angle glaucoma, zandoxap should be used with caution.
