Margaret asked:

"Does anyone have the insert that comes with the medication? Can you
please check it?"

I have the Tasmar drug insert...what was the info you needed from it?

It does say that "liver enzymes should be monitored monthly during the
first three months of TASMAR treatment, and every 6 weeks for the next 3
months of treatment. Tolcapone should be discontinued for enzyme
elevations greater than or equal to 5 times the upper limit of normal or
at the appearance of jaundice" (first seen as the yellowing of the
whites of the eyes).

..."To be given with caution to those with moderate to severe liver
impairment or severe renal impairment."
