ONGENTYS (generically known as opicapone) is a prescription medicine used in adjunctive treatment to levodopa/carbidopa in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experiencing off episodes. It is a selective catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor that helps block the COMT enzyme which breaks down levodopa, the active ingredient in carbidopa-levodopa. By blocking COMT, ONGENTYS helps to prolong the effect of levodopa and improve the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
ONGENTYS is taken as a capsule by mouth once a day. As with all prescription medications, you should talk to your doctor about whether ONGENTYS is the right treatment option for your specific case, and make sure to follow your doctor’s instructions for how to take the medication.
Ongentys capsules should be taken orally on an empty stomach, according to your doctor’s instructions, usually once a day at bedtime. Avoid eating food for at least one hour before and one hour after taking opicapone. The dosage will be determined based on your medical condition and response to therapy.
To help you remember to take it, take it at the same time every day. Do not suddenly stop taking Ongentys unless instructed by your doctor as this may worsen symptoms of Parkinson’s disease or cause side effects such as fever or severe muscle stiffness. If your medical condition does not improve or worsens, please inform your doctor.
The usual dosage of Ongentys is one 50 mg capsule taken orally every day at bedtime. However, for individuals with moderate liver problems, the typical dose is 25 mg taken once orally every day at bedtime.
Ongentys (Opicapone) is available in the following forms and strength:
Ongentys starts working within one week of starting treatment, and the full effects are seen after a few weeks of taking the medication.
No, Ongentys is used in combination with other medications used to treat Parkinson’s disease, such as levodopa/carbidopa.
It is not known whether Ongentys is safe to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor before taking the medication.
Yes, your healthcare provider may adjust your Ongentys dosage over time based on your response to treatment and any side affects you experience.
