THE MEDICATION IS FOR PARKINSONB ## Hey George, From what I could gather, Levodopa is in a class of medications called central nervous system agents. It works by being converted to dopamine in the brain. Carbidopa is in a class of medications called decarboxylase inhibitors. It works by preventing levodopa from being broken down before it reaches the brain. This allows for a lower dose of levodopa, which causes less nausea and vomiting.

Are there any drug interactions with Emsam? ## You mean the Sensa weight loss product that you sprinkle on your food? If so, then you should know that these types of over the counter products are not tested and watched for possible interactions with prescription medications, since they are not required to do so.

As a food additive, it's generally considered safe, but it's hard to be sure without knowing more details of your medical history.

will this show up in a drug test ## I don't believe a drug testing facility would test for a medication used for treating the symptoms of Parkinson's disease or Restless legs syndrome. Ropinirole is in a class of medications called dopamine agonists. It works by acting in place of dopamine, a natural substance in the brain that is needed to control movement. They also can't test for something and hold it against you if it's already naturally occurring in the body. That just wouldn't make sense to me if they did. In either case, if this is your prescription of Ropinirole, you can simply present the lab or employer with a copy of your script prior to the test, that way if something did show up, at least you wouldn't be held accountable for it. I hope this advice he...
