The entire ear can be destroyed in just a few days. This problem is devastating and fixing it requires some pretty complex surgery. Cartilage piercing is dangerous because it really doesn't take much at all to cause an infection. So my advice, buck the trends and don't get the cartilage pierced. Pierce the earlobe -- once, twice, or whatever your mother lets you do. But stay away from the upper ear.
SINEMETÂ® (carbidopa-levodopa) is a combination of carbidopa and levodopa for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and syndrome. Carbidopa, an inhibitor of aromatic amino acid decarboxylation, is a white, crystalline compound, slightly soluble in water, with a molecular weight of 244.3.
Carbidopa inhibits decarboxylation of peripheral levodopa. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier and does not affect the metabolism of levodopa within the central nervous system. The incidence of levodopa-induced nausea and vomiting is less with Sinemet than with levodopa.
