Comtan (entacapone)

Indications

• Comtan tablets are indicated for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease as an adjunct to levodopa/carbidopa therapy.
• It helps to enhance the effectiveness of levodopa/carbidopa by prolonging its duration of action.

Dosage and Administration

• Take Comtan tablets exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually one tablet with each dose of levodopa/carbidopa, up to eight times a day.
• Swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water.
• Take Comtan with or without food as directed by your doctor.
• Maintain a consistent schedule with your levodopa/carbidopa doses to achieve the best therapeutic effect.
• Do not exceed the prescribed dose of Comtan or use it more frequently than directed by your doctor.
• Avoid stopping Comtan abruptly without consulting your doctor, as it may worsen your symptoms.
• Do not share your medication with others, even if they have similar symptoms.

Mechanism of Action

Comtan contains Entacapone, a catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor. It works by inhibiting the COMT enzyme, which breaks down levodopa in the body. This action increases the levels and prolongs the effect of levodopa in the brain, improving the control of Parkinson’s symptoms.
