Are there certain foods I should not take with carbo-levo? Should I take it with meals?

From what I've read, the combination of Carbidopa + Levodopa can be administered with food to reduce the likelihood of nausea; however, it should be noted that using multivitamins or minerals together with levodopa may decrease the effects of your medication. Additionally, a high-protein diet may also reduce its absorption and overall efficacy.

That said, it might be best to take this medication by itself or in between meals, to help avoid any chance of it not working as effectively as it should.

You can learn more about this drug on the page for Carbidopa + Levodopa Details

I hope this helps!
