What is Tasmar?

Tasmar is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Bausch Health. Tasmar is an inhibitor of catechol-O-methyltransferase (a COMT inhibitor) and is used as adjunctive therapy to levodopa/carbidopa for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease include stiffness, tremors, muscle spasms, and poor muscle control.

Tasmar is usually given to people who are already taking combination treatments of carbidopa and levodopa, or levodopa and benserazide but have not had successful treatment of symptoms.

What doses of Tasmar are available?

Tasmar is available in tablet form, in the following doses: 100 mg.

Your doctor will carry out blood tests before initiating treatment, and liver function tests every 2 to 4 weeks for the first 6 months of treatment.

Tasmar is taken three times a day, with or without food. Take your first dose with your first daily dose of carbidopa and levodopa. Take your second and third doses 6 and 12 hours later.

Please read the prescribing information provided with your tablets. Do not stop using Tasmar suddenly, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Always speak with a healthcare professional about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Tasmar active ingredients

Tolcapone the active ingredient in Tasmar is believed to inhibit COMT and change the plasma pharmacokinetics of levodopa. Sustained plasma levels of levodopa result in more constant dopaminergic stimulation in the brain, (tolcapone will increase the level or effect of dopamine) leading to greater effects on the signs and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease in patients as well as increasing levodopa’s side effects. Sometimes this may require a decrease in the dose of levodopa.

Tasmar side effects

The most common side effects of Tasmar in clinical trials compared to placebo include:

• Nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite
• Muscle cramps
• Dyskinesia (uncontrollable movements)
• Headache
• Sleep disorders such as excessive dreaming, drowsiness, somnolence (sleepiness), sleep problems
• Confusion, hallucination
• Orthostatic complaints (dizziness on standing)

In rare instances, Tasmar can cause more serious side effects. These can include:

• Severe or ongoing diarrhea
• Worsening tremors, stiffness, or muscle spasms
• Liver injury and liver failure – unusual tiredness, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
• Easy bleeding or bruising, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, fever, mood changes, increased urges

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Tasmar against your risk of side effects. Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects or adverse reactions of Tasmar to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Tasmar drug interactions

Tasmar can interact with other medications. These include:

• MAO inhibitors include isocarboxazid, linezolid, methylene blue injection, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, and tranylcypromine. Both MAO inhibitors and tolcapone inhibit catecholamine metabolism, leading to increased levels and the potential for dangerously high heart rate or blood pressure

This list is not exhaustive and other prescription drugs may interact with Tasmar.
