Agonists list

[M-o-ggy]

Some time ago I thought that I had read a list of these drugs. I have completed a search but can’t see it. Have I imagined this

Can some kind person on here tell me if Entacapone Teva is an agonist

[park_bear]

Entacapone is not a dopamine agonist.

medlineplus.gov/druginfo/me...

"Entacapone is an inhibitor of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). It is used in combination with levodopa and carbidopa (Sinemet) to treat the end-of-dose 'wearing-off' symptoms of Parkinson's disease. "

Dopamine agonist list here:

Thank you. I seem to remember that the original post advised against taking agonists. I can’t remember why though.

"The most common adverse effects of dopamine agonists are nausea, orthostatic hypotension, hallucinations, somnolence, and impulse control disorders."

Impulse control disorders – compulsive gambling, sex, shopping, or eating. Some seniors have lost their retirement as a result. Dopamine agonists can also cause orthostatic hypotension - loss of blood pressure upon standing, which can be disabling.
