Hi Alex,

Based on my research, Carbidopa/Levodopa should be taken by mouth, usually 3 to 4 times a day or as directed by your doctor. If you have been taking Levodopa without any Carbidopa and are taking this combination for the first time, wait at least 12 hours after your last dose of Levodopa before taking the them together.

Carbidopa/Levidopa can be taken with a light snack to help decrease nausea, however you should refrain from taking it with high-protein snacks because they may prevent absorption. If you take any supplements that contain iron, be sure to take them hours before/after your dose because Iron can reduce the amount of Carbidopa and Levodopa available to the body.

I hope this helps!
