Unfortunately, I do not find Makom in the drug lists. If your question is about Nakom marked in the tags, please read on. Nakom is a combination drug containing carbidopa and levodopa. Levodopa evens out dopamine levels in the central nervous system. Carbidopa inhibits the action of enzymes that break down levodopa. It increases the amount of levodopa reaching directly to the brain. The drug is recommended for adults. Nakom has been registered for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and syndrome: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/51314/nakom-tabletki/apteki If the doctor deems it appropriate, the preparation can be used in a 21-year-old person also for other indications (such as low dopamine levels). The doctor, based on his knowledge, may recommend the use of drugs outside the registered indications. This is the so-called "off-label" treatment. We wrote more about this in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/leczenie-off-label-poza-wskazaniami If you have doubts about the correctness of the prescribed treatment, I encourage you to consult a doctor again.
