Entacapone 200mg Tablet is a COMT (Catechol-O-Methyltransferase) inhibitor used in combination with levodopa and carbidopa for the management of Parkinson’s disease. It works by prolonging the action of levodopa in the brain, thereby improving movement and reducing symptoms such as stiffness, slowness, and tremors.
Entacapone helps reduce “off” episodes (periods when Parkinson’s symptoms return) and allows smoother and more consistent control of muscle movement.
