About Ongentys (Opicapone)

Ongentys (Opicapone) is a catechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor used to treat Parkinson’s disease. Dopamine is a natural substance that is needed for normal brain function. It helps to control movement, motivation, and attention. People with Parkinson’s disease have low levels of dopamine in their brains.

The main ingredient of Ongentys is Opicapone. Opicapone is a catechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor. COMT is an enzyme that breaks down dopamine. COMT plays a role in the breakdown of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, adrenaline, and norepinephrine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps control movement, emotion, and behavior. Opicapone increases the amount of dopamine in the brain. This can improve symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, such as stiffness, tremors, and walking problems. Opicapone can also help relieve “OFF” periods during the day when Parkinson’s symptoms worsen.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions about Ongentys (Opicapone)

When is the most appropriate time to take Ongentys?

Ongentys (Opicapone) should be taken once daily at bedtime and at least one hour after eating. Eating is also not advised for an hour after taking Ongentys.

Why is Ongentys administered at night?

Ongentys increases the quantity of levodopa that reaches the brain, extending its duration of action. Ongentys accomplishes this by inhibiting the COMT enzyme, which degrades levodopa in the blood. The quantity of levodopa available after a dose is increased by taking Ongentys at night or at least one hour apart from levodopa. However, any interaction between the two medications during the levodopa absorption phase is avoided.

When Ongentys is taken at night, there is more freedom to change when levodopa is given during the day, as there is no need to consider potential absorption interactions.

How long does Ongentys take to work?

Ongentys begins to work within one week after beginning treatment. Ongentys has a full effect within two to three weeks of starting medication.
