Opicapone is a medication used as an adjunctive treatment for Parkinson's disease. It works as a catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor, which helps prolong the effect of levodopa, the primary treatment for Parkinson's, by reducing its breakdown in the body. This helps improve motor function and manage symptoms in patients experiencing "off" episodes when the effects of levodopa wear off.
