How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Entacapone). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Entacapone is a selective and reversible inhibitor of COMT.
In mammals, COMT is distributed throughout various organs with the highest activities in the liver and kidney.
Metabolism and Elimination: Entacapone is almost completely metabolized prior to excretion, with only a very small amount (0.2% of dose) found unchanged in urine.
After oral administration of a 14 C-labeled dose of entacapone, 10% of labeled parent and metabolite is excreted in urine and 90% in feces.
Food does not affect the pharmacokinetics of entacapone.
