📋Overview
Ongentys is a medication that works by inhibiting the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). It is primarily used in the management of Parkinson's disease, a neurological disorder characterized by movement difficulties such as tremors and stiffness. By affecting the breakdown of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, Ongentys helps to support motor function in individuals with this condition. It is typically considered when symptoms are not adequately controlled by other therapies.
