एंटाकॉम 200एमजी 10 टैबलेट्स की स्ट्रिप
विवरण
Entacom tablet is a medicine used in adults with Parkinson’s disease as an add-on to standard levodopa therapy.। It helps manage “end-of-dose” motor fluctuations, which are periods during which symptoms such as stiffness, slowness, or tremors recur before the next scheduled levodopa dose. By improving the consistency of levodopa’s effect, Entacom tablet helps patients maintain better control over their movements and daily activities।
The medication works by blocking the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). This enzyme normally breaks down levodopa in the body. By inhibiting COMT, Entacom tablet increases the amount and duration of levodopa in the bloodstream, which helps reduce the “off” periods when Parkinson’s symptoms reappear and improves the overall effectiveness of levodopa therapy।
Entacom tablet is usually administered with each levodopa dose, and it is important to follow the physician’s instructions regarding timing and dosage.। It should be swallowed whole with water and can be taken with or after food to reduce stomach upset. Consistent dosing helps maintain stable levodopa levels, reducing symptom fluctuations and improving patients' sense of control over their movements throughout the day।
Some patients may experience side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dry mouth, or constipation. Dizziness, sleepiness, or sudden sleep episodes can also occur, particularly when standing up quickly. Patients should be cautious about driving or operating machines until they know how the medicine affects them. Any unusual muscle pain, weakness, or dark urine should be reported to a doctor immediately।
Entacom tablet interacts with certain other medications, including some antidepressants, iron supplements, and catechol-based medicines.। It may slightly affect warfarin, a blood-thinning medicine, so monitoring is recommended. Maintaining hydration, a balanced diet, and avoiding abrupt changes in dose can help improve tolerance and effectiveness. Overall, Entacom tablet provides a valuable addition to levodopa therapy, helping patients with Parkinson’s disease manage their symptoms more reliably।
