Tasmar is a medication available in the form of 100mg tablets. It is primarily used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement and coordination. Tasmar belongs to a class of drugs called catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors. It works by blocking an enzyme called COMT, which helps increase the effectiveness of other medications used in Parkinson's disease, particularly levodopa. By inhibiting COMT, Tasmar prolongs the duration of levodopa's action, reducing motor fluctuations and improving motor control in individuals with Parkinson's disease. However, it is important to note that Tasmar is usually prescribed in combination with other Parkinson's medications and should be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
