Drug data last refreshed 2d ago
ONGENTYS (opicapone) is an oral capsule catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor approved by the FDA on April 24, 2020. It is indicated as an adjunctive treatment for Parkinson's disease patients experiencing motor fluctuations on levodopa-based therapy. The drug works by inhibiting COMT, an enzyme that metabolizes dopamine, thereby extending the duration of levodopa's therapeutic effect and reducing off-time periods. ONGENTYS represents a complementary option in the Parkinson's disease treatment arsenal for managing end-of-dose motor complications.
