POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended dose is 50 mg of opicapone.
Ongentys should be taken once-daily at bedtime at least one hour
before or after levodopa
combinations.
_Dose adjustments of antiparkinsonian therapy _

enhances the effects of
levodopa. Hence, it is often necessary to adjust levodopa dose by
extending the dosing intervals and/or
reducing the amount of levodopa per dose within the first days to
first weeks after initiating the
treatment with opicapone according to the clinical condition of the
patient (see section 4.4).
_Missed dose _
If one dose is missed, the next dose should be taken as scheduled. The
patient should not take an extra
dose to make up for the missed dose.
