What is Entacapone used for?

Entacapone Crescent Pharma is primarily used as an adjunct therapy for Parkinson's disease. It works by inhibiting an enzyme that breaks down levodopa, allowing levodopa to remain active in the body for a longer period.

Entacapone is often prescribed alongside levodopa and carbidopa to provide more consistent symptom control throughout the day.
