Entacom Plus 150 Tablet

Product Introduction
Entacom Plus 150 Tablet is a prescription medication used for managing Parkinson’s disease. It helps reduce symptoms like tremors and stiffness by slowing down unusual body movements. This medicine works by boosting the levels of certain chemical messengers in the brain that are essential for controlling body movements.

You can take Entacom Plus 150 Tablet with or without food, but it’s best to avoid meals that are high in protein or dairy products, as these can affect the medicine’s absorption. It’s important to take it at the same time every day to keep a consistent level of the drug in your system. Follow the exact dose and schedule given by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for the next one. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without medical advice, as it may cause harmful effects.

Some common side effects of this medicine include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, dry mouth, dizziness, and urine discoloration. It can also make you feel sleepy or suddenly dizzy, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you. Since diarrhea is a frequent side effect, drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration and monitor your weight.

If you have liver or kidney problems, use this medicine cautiously and under close medical supervision. Inform your doctor about any other medicines you are taking, as they may interact with Entacom Plus 150 Tablet. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting this medication.

How It Works

• Levodopa converts into dopamine in the brain, which helps regulate body movements.
