Can you take carbidopa and levodopa with NyQuil?
yes
What does carbidopa do?
Levodopa itself is not well tolerated, which is why it is combined with carbidopa. Carbidopa decreases peripheral metabolism of levodopa, which allows for lower doses of levodopa and less-severe side effects.
Is carbidopa-levodopa a controlled substance?
No, it is a purer form of the over the counter remedy 'Dopa Mucuna,' a mood enhancement suppliment; however, make no mistake, although Levodopa is over the counter it is still a psychoactive drug with potential side effects.
What classification is sinemet?
Sinemet is classified as a combination medication that contains two active ingredients, carbidopa and levodopa. Carbidopa helps prevent the breakdown of levodopa before it can reach the brain and be converted to dopamine. It is primarily used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
How to avoid giving levodopa in high dose to Parkinson's patients?
Although levodopa can cross our BBB, but it will be decarboxylated to dopamine peripherally before reaching our CNS - only small amount of Levodopa will be left and available to pass our BBB.So, instead of giving levodopa in high dose (which can cause lots of side effects), we give levodopa with peripheral decarboxylase inhibitors (e.g. carbidopa, benserazide) which can inhibit decarboxylation of levodopa in GIT and peripheral tissues. (By combining levodopa and peripheral decarobxylase inhibitors, we will have less side effects too)

What are the two most commonly-prescribed forms of levadopa?
the two most-commonly prescribed forms of levodopa include an amino-acid-decarboxylase (AADC) inhibitor: carbidopa (in Sinemet) or benzaseride (in Madopar).
Does the lack of dopamine produce the symptoms of Parkinson's disease?
Lack of L-dopa is the major problem. Therefore, symptoms improve with the use of the centrally-acting agent, levodopa (L-dopa), and the peripherally-acting agent, carbidopa.
What is the most-commonly used drug in treating Parkinson's disease or Parkinsonian-like syndrome?
Levodopa (Larodopa) is the mainstay of Parkinson's treatment. The drug crosses the blood-brain barrier, and is converted to dopamine. The drug may be administered alone, or in combination with carbidopa (Lodosyn)
What will happen if pyridoxine is given with levodopa?
pyridoxine (vitamin B6) can decrease the effect of levodopa.
