How long should I wait to see the results of Ongentys?

Category: Ongentys

As each person can respond differently to a medication, there is no standard timeline for when Ongentys starts to work. In the trials that supported the therapy’s approval, a significant reduction in daily off periods could be observed in Ongentys-treated patients within the first 3.5 months of treatment. In addition, greater levodopa dose reductions were reported in patients in the first two to three weeks of treatment. But patients are advised to talk with their healthcare team on how the therapy can help in their particular case.
