Hey George,

From what I could gather, Levodopa is in a class of medications called central nervous system agents. It works by being converted to dopamine in the brain.

Carbidopa is in a class of medications called decarboxylase inhibitors. It works by preventing levodopa from being broken down before it reaches the brain. This allows for a lower dose of levodopa, which causes less nausea and vomiting.

I hope this helps!
