Entacapone is a medication that is primarily used to treat Parkinson's disease. It is a COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase) inhibitor, which helps to decrease the breakdown of dopamine in the brain. By doing so, entacapone increases the amount of dopamine available for neurotransmission, which can help to alleviate symptoms of Parkinson's disease such as tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia.
