What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Tasmar Overview
Tasmar is used with other medications (levodopa/carbidopa) to treat Parkinson's disease. Tolcapone belongs to a class of drugs known as COMT inhibitors. Many people taking levodopa for Parkinson's have problems with the effects of the levodopa wearing off between scheduled doses, causing symptoms to return or worsen. Tolcapone blocks a certain natural substance (COMT enzyme) that breaks down levodopa in the body. This effect allows the levodopa to last longer in the system so that it doesn't wear off before the next dose.
Tasmar Warnings
Rarely, tolcapone has caused a severe (sometimes fatal) liver problem (liver failure). Tolcapone should not be used if you have even mild liver disease. You should only use tolcapone if you are experiencing problems with your levodopa wearing off between doses. If you show no benefit from tolcapone after 3 weeks of using it, your doctor may choose to stop it. Before and during treatment with tolcapone, you will have certain blood tests (liver function tests) every few weeks to monitor for liver problems. Keep all medical and lab test appointments. Tell your doctor right away if you experience symptoms of liver problems (such as nausea/vomiting that doesn't stop, abdominal pain, dark urine, severe tiredness, loss of appetite, itchiness). If you experience liver problems from taking tolcapone, you should not take it again. Your doctor may ask you to sign a consent form after telling you about the possible side effects of Tasmar.
How to Use Tasmar
Take Tasmar by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually 3 times daily. You will start on a low dose. Your doctor may increase your dosage after 3 weeks if your doctor thinks that you will benefit from a higher dose. Dosage of Tasmar is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Use Tasmar regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day. Do not suddenly stop taking Tasmar unless instructed to do so by your doctor. Doing so may cause your Parkinson's symptoms to become much worse. Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse (such as your Parkinson's symptoms are not controlled).

If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. To reduce the risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position. Remember that Tasmar has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using Tasmar do not have serious side effects.

If you experience increased sleepiness or fall asleep during the day, do not drive or take part in other possibly dangerous activities until you have discussed this effect with your doctor.
