    Tidomet Forte is used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease by increasing dopamine levels in the brain. It contains carbidopa and levodopa, which converts to dopamine to relieve Parkinson's symptoms. Common side effects include uncontrolled movements, headache, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, and diarrhea. Nurses should monitor patients for suicidal thoughts and ensure dosage is decreased if therapy is interrupted. They should also give it with meals if GI upset occurs and monitor hepatic, renal, hematopoietic, and cardiovascular function.
