Product description & overview
Entacom Plus 50 Tablet: For Optimal Levodopa Treatment
Entacom Plus 50 Tablet is a convenient combination medication used for managing Parkinson's disease symptoms. It contains three key ingredients designed to maximize levodopa effectiveness:
* Levodopa (50mg): A dopamine precursor that directly impacts brain function, relieving tremors and stiffness in Parkinson's patients.
* Carbidopa (12.5mg): Reduces the breakdown of levodopa by the body, ensuring more levodopa reaches the brain for better symptom control.
* Entacapone (200mg): A powerful inhibitor of catechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT), enhancing levodopa's effect and extending its duration in the brain.
This combined formulation aims to provide improved motor function, offering greater stability and reduced medication-induced side effects compared to using levodopa alone. It is essential to consult your healthcare provider before starting any new medication regimen.

About Entacapone
Entacapone is a medication used in conjunction with levodopa to treat Parkinson's disease symptoms. It enhances the effectiveness of levodopa by inhibiting catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), an enzyme that breaks down levodopa before it reaches the brain. This leads to increased dopamine availability, improving motor control and reducing symptoms such as tremors and stiffness. In summary, Entacapone is a crucial adjunct therapy for managing Parkinson's disease effectively.
How It Works
Entacapone inhibits the COMT enzyme, thereby preventing the degradation of levodopa and increasing its bioavailability to the central nervous system.
