Comtan (active ingredient: entacapone) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Parkinson’s Disease: Comtan is used as an adjunct to levodopa/carbidopa therapy to treat end-of-dose “wearing-off” in patients with Parkinson’s disease.

Comtan belongs to a class of drugs known as catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors, which work by inhibiting the COMT enzyme, thereby increasing the levels and duration of action of levodopa in the brain.

Comtan (Entacapone) comes as a tablet to be taken orally, either with or without food. It is typically taken with each prescribed dose of levodopa/carbidopa (up to 8 times daily), or as directed by your physician. Take Comtan regularly to receive the maximum benefits, and to take it at a consistent time each day to ensure that you remember to take it. Do not discontinue usage suddenly unless advised to do so by your healthcare provider, as this may result in the worsening of Parkinson’s symptoms.

The recommended dosage is based on your medical condition, liver function, and response to therapy. However, the typical dose of Comtan tablet is 200 mg by mouth taken with each dose of carbidopa/levodopa. Do not take more than 1,600 mg (8 tablets) in a day.
