Rationale for change

The way the card originally was worded could imply, out of context, that Carbidopa is genrally harmful to combine with levodopa. I think this better explains that Carbidopa just boosts levodopa in the CNS and that comes with all the good and bad of levodopa. That would make it a potential dupe with the other carbidopa card, but I think this would take preference over that if that is the case.

Also, there is a potential error. Amboss popup says that carbidopa does not even affect the CNS side effects.
