What is Ongentys?

Ongentys is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Neurocrine Biosciences Inc. Ongentys is a catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor used as adjunctive treatment to levodopa/carbidopa in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experiencing “off” episodes or off time.

What doses of Ongentys are available?

Ongentys is available in capsule form, in the following doses: 25 mg and 50 mg.

The recommended dose is 50 mg orally once daily at bedtime. Patients should not eat food for 1 hour before and for at least 1 hour after taking Ongentys. The recommended dose in patients with moderate hepatic impairment is 25 mg orally once daily at bedtime. If a dose is missed, skip the missed dose and take the next dose at the regular time (the next day at bedtime).

Always speak with your healthcare provider for medical advice or about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Ongentys active ingredients

The active ingredient of Ongentys is opicapone, it is classed as a COMT inhibitor and is a selective and reversible inhibitor of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT).

Physiological substrates of COMT include DOPA, catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine), and their hydroxylated metabolites. When decarboxylation of levodopa is prevented by carbidopa, COMT becomes the major metabolizing enzyme for levodopa.
