The primary use of entacapone in treating Parkinson's disease is to:
 
  1. protect the liver from damage from levodopa or carbidopa.
  2. inhibit decarboxylase enzymes, which are used to metabolize levodopa.
  3. inhibit COMT and prolong the half-life of levodopa in the blood.
  4. bind to dopamine receptors, causing their activation.

Question 2

When used alone, how should selegiline be administered?
 
  1. At 6-hour intervals to ensure maintenance of plasma levels
  2. At bedtime to decrease the drowsiness that occurs early in treatment
  3. At breakfast and lunch to decrease the potential for insomnia
  4. One hour before or 2 hours after meals to increase absorption
