Entacapone and Tolcapone may cause discoloration of urine, sweat or saliva, and diarrhea, which can get severe particularly with the use of Tolcapone.
恩他卡彭和托卡彭可能导致尿液、汗液或唾液变色,以及腹泻尤其是使用托卡彭后会变得更严重。
Osmosis-神经
COMT inhibitors like entacapone and tolcapone are only given with levodopa to prevent the enzyme from breaking it down outside the central nervous system, thus allowing more of it to enter the brain.
As a side note here, in comparison to Entacapone, Tolcapone can better penetrate the blood–brain barrier, and thus can act both in the central nervous system and in the periphery.
另一方面,与恩他卡彭相比,托卡彭能更好地穿透血液-大脑屏障,因此可以在中枢神经系统和周围发挥作用。
