Drug Details
Opicapone, marketed as Ongentys, is an adjunctive medication used alongside levodopa/carbidopa to manage Parkinson's disease symptoms. It is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing "wearing-off" episodes, where the effects of levodopa diminish between doses, leading to a resurgence of symptoms. Opicapone functions as a COMT inhibitor, blocking the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase that breaks down levodopa. By inhibiting this enzyme, opicapone prolongs the action of levodopa, enhancing its efficacy and duration in alleviating Parkinson's symptoms. It is typically administered once daily at bedtime.

Ongentys FAQs
Ongentys is used as an adjunctive treatment to levodopa/carbidopa in patients with Parkinson's disease experiencing "off" episodes. It helps to prolong the effect of levodopa by inhibiting the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), which breaks down levodopa in the body.
Ongentys, which contains the active ingredient opicapone, may cause several side effects. Common side effects include dyskinesia (involuntary movements), constipation, increased blood creatine kinase, hypotension (low blood pressure), and weight loss. Less common side effects can include dizziness, dry mouth, and insomnia. It is important for patients to discuss any side effects they experience with their healthcare provider, as they may need to adjust the treatment plan.
