WHAT TASMAR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
For the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, Tasmar is used together
with the medicinal product levodopa
(as levodopa/benserazide or levodopa/carbidopa).
Tasmar is used when all other alternative medicines cannot stabilise
your Parkinson’s disease.
For the treatment of your Parkinson’s disease you already take
levodopa.
A natural protein (enzyme) in your body, the (COMT) Catechol-
_O_
-methyltransferase breaks down the
levodopa. Tasmar blocks this enzyme and thus slows the breakdown of
levodopa. This means when it
is taken together with levodopa (as levodopa/benserazide or
levodopa/carbidopa) you should have an
improvement in the symptoms of your Parkinson’s disease.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE TASMAR
DO NOT TAKE TASMAR:
-
if you have liver disease or increased liver enzymes
-
if you have severe involuntary movement (dyskinesia)
-
if you have a previous history of severe symptoms of muscle
stiffening, fever or mental
confusion (Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) Symptom Complex)
and/or if you have
damage of skeletal muscle tissue (non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis) or
fever (hyperthe

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Tasmar is indicated in combination with levodopa/benserazide or
levodopa/carbidopa for use in
patients with levodopa-responsive idiopathic Parkinson’s disease and
motor fluctuations, who failed to
respond to or are intolerant of other catechol-
_O_
-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors (see section 5.1).
Because of the risk of potentially fatal, acute liver injury, Tasmar
should not be considered as a first-
line adjunct therapy to levodopa/benserazide or levodopa/carbidopa
(see sections 4.4 and 4.8).
Since Tasmar should be used only in combination with
levodopa/benserazide and levodopa/carbidopa,
the prescribing information for these levodopa preparations is also
applicable to their concomitant use
with Tasmar.
