... COMT inhibitors work by preventing the breakdown of levodopa in the bloodstream, allowing more of it to reach the brain and extend its effectiveness.Common COMT inhibitors include entacapone (Comtan), which can be taken alone or as part of a combination pill containing levodopa, carbidopa, and entacapone (Stalevo). ...
