Additional Information for Entacapone Tablets
Entacapone Tablets are a medication that belongs to the supply class Drugs And Biologicals in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
Entacapone is primarily used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. It is a selective and reversible inhibitor of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), an enzyme involved in the breakdown of dopamine. By inhibiting COMT, entacapone helps to increase and prolong the effects of levodopa, a medication used to manage the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Entacapone Tablets are typically prescribed as an adjunct to levodopa/carbidopa therapy in patients experiencing "wearing-off" fluctuations in their response to levodopa. These tablets are available in various strengths and are taken orally.
It is important to note that Entacapone Tablets should only be used under the supervision and guidance of a healthcare professional. They may have potential side effects and interactions with other medications, so it is crucial to follow the prescribed dosage and consult with a healthcare provider for any concerns or questions.
Please consult with a healthcare professional or refer to the medication's package insert for more detailed information about Entacapone Tablets, including indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and potential side effects.
