Entacapone
Entacapone is a medication commonly used in conjunction with other medications (like carbidopa and levodopa) to treat Parkinson's disease. It belongs to a class of drugs known as COMT inhibitors and works by increasing the levels of levodopa in the brain, thereby helping to control symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
How is this medication used?
Entacapone is usually taken with each dose of carbidopa/levodopa. The typical dosage is 200 mg with each dose of carbidopa/levodopa, up to a maximum of 8 times per day. It's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosing.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and dizziness. Some people may experience orange-colored urine, which is generally harmless. Serious side effects can include severe movements, more intense episodes of Parkinson's symptoms, and rare but serious allergic reactions.
What are the potential interactions?
Entacapone can interact with certain antidepressants, MAO inhibitors, and other medications. It's important to tell your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
