Antiparkinsonian
Carbidopa/levodopa FDA indications
Parkinson disease: Immediate release, 25 mg/100 mg po tid, increasing dose to therapeutic response; extended release, 50 mg/200 mg po bid, separate doses by at least 6 h; extended-release capsules, 23.75 mg/95 mg po tid × 3 d, then may increase to 36.25 mg/145 mg po tid; patients generally treated with 400-1600 mg of levodopa per d; max 200 mg of carbidopa and 2000 mg of levodopa
Carbidopa/Levodopa MOA
When levodopa is administered orally, it is rapidly decarboxylated to dopamine in extracerebral tissues so that only a small portion of a given dose is transported unchanged to the CNS. For this reason, when given alone, large doses of levodopa are required for adequate therapeutic effect. However, these doses often result in nausea and other adverse reactions. Carbidopa inhibits decarboxylation of circulating levodopa, preventing nausea and allowing more levodopa to reach the CNS. Carbidopa does not cross the blood-brain barrier and does not affect the metabolism of levodopa within the CNS.
Carbidopa/levodopa contraindications
Hypersensitivity to carbidopa or levodopa, narrow-angle glaucoma, concurrent MAOI or linezolid

Divalproex MOA
Divalproex is composed of sodium valproate and valproic acid. Valproic acid is a carboxylic acid compound whose anticonvulsant activity might be mediated by an inhibitory neurotransmitter, GABA. Valproic acid might increase GABA levels by inhibiting GABA metabolism or enhancing postsynaptic GABA activity. Valproic acid also limits repetitive neuronal firing through voltage- and usage-dependent sodium channels.
