experimentan fluctuaciones motoras. Debido al riesgo de da\u00f1o hep\u00e1tico grave, generalmente se reserva para pacientes que no han respondido adecuadamente a otras terapias complementarias o que no son candidatos apropiados para ellas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-tolcapone-tasmar-mechanism-of-action-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tolcapone_Tasmar_Mechanism_of_Action\"><\/span><strong>Tolcapone (Tasmar): Mecanismo de acci\u00f3n&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson, los niveles de dopamina en el cerebro disminuyen a medida que las c\u00e9lulas cerebrales responsables de producir este neurotransmisor mueren gradualmente. Como consecuencia, los pacientes pierden progresivamente el control de sus movimientos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cuando los pacientes toman levodopa, un medicamento que el cuerpo convierte en dopamina, aumentan los niveles de dopamina en el cerebro y mejoran los problemas de movimiento. Sin embargo, sus efectos pueden disminuir entre dosis, ya que la enzima catecol-O-metiltransferasa (COMT) la degrada, lo que provoca la reaparici\u00f3n de los s\u00edntomas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tolcapone (Tasmar) ayuda a mejorar el movimiento y la coordinaci\u00f3n en personas con enfermedad de Parkinson al aumentar los niveles de dopamina en el cerebro. Se toma junto con levodopa para ayudar a prolongar los efectos del medicamento. Tolcapone act\u00faa mediante: <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC2685232\/\">bloqueando una enzima llamada COMT<\/a>, que descompone la levodopa. Al ralentizar este proceso, hay m\u00e1s levodopa disponible para llegar al cerebro, lo que ayuda a los pacientes a controlar los s\u00edntomas del Parkinson durante m\u00e1s tiempo entre dosis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-drug-form\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drug_Form\"><\/span><strong>Forma del f\u00e1rmaco<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tolcapone (Tasmar) est\u00e1 disponible en comprimidos orales de 100 mg y 200 mg y solo se puede obtener con receta m\u00e9dica.

La segunda y la tercera dosis se toman 6 y 12 horas despu\u00e9s, respectivamente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En algunos casos, su m\u00e9dico podr\u00eda aumentar la dosis a 200 mg tres veces al d\u00eda, pero solo cuando el beneficio adicional compense el mayor riesgo de da\u00f1o hep\u00e1tico. Generalmente, se debe suspender el tratamiento con tolcapona si no se observa un beneficio cl\u00ednico significativo dentro de las 3 semanas posteriores al inicio del tratamiento.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La tolcapona debe tomarse por v\u00eda oral, con o sin alimentos, seg\u00fan lo indique su m\u00e9dico.
