Thanks for your interest in responding. this is what I found on side effects of entacapone: SIDE EFFECTS: Diarrhea, drowsiness, upset stomach or dizziness may occur. If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. Tell your doctor immediately if you have any of these unlikely but serious side effects: mental/mood changes, fainting, muscle coordination problems. Tell your doctor immediately if you have any of these highly unlikely but very serious side effects: muscle pain, change in the amount of urine. This drug may cause a harmless discoloration (brownish-orange color) of your urine. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. http://www.medicinenet.com/entacapone-oral/article.htm Maryse cg John 77,17 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
