Opicapone
Alternative Names: Ongentys®
Opicapone (Ongentys®) is a COMT inhibitor used with levodopa/carbidopa to help manage motor fluctuations in Parkinson’s disease. By blocking the breakdown of levodopa, it allows more drug to reach the brain and helps extend “on” time. Unlike entacapone, it is taken just once daily, making it more convenient for patients. Common side effects include dyskinesia, constipation, low blood pressure, and insomnia, though most people tolerate it well. Opicapone is especially useful for patients with advanced disease who need better control of “wearing-off” symptoms.
