<p><strong>Adults</strong>: The optimum daily dose must be determined by careful titration of levodopa in each patient. Patients should be instructed to take only 1 (one) tablet per dose administration. The maximum recommended daily dose of entacapone is 2,000 mg. Usually this combination is to be used in patients who are currently treated with corresponding doses of standard release Levodopa or Dopa Decarboxylase (DDC)&nbsp;inhibitor and entacapone.</p>

<p><strong>Administration</strong></p>

<p>May be taken with or without food. Keep a consistent diet. A change in diet to foods high in protein may delay levodopa absorption &amp; reduce amount taken up in circulation. Excessive acidity also delays stomach emptying &amp; thus delays levodopa absorption. Iron salts may also reduce amount of levodopa available to the body. Swallow whole.</p>
