A member asked:
Is it ok to take vitamin b complex when you are on levodopa-carbidopa?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Vitamin b 6 has been associated with decreasing the effectiveness of levodopa-carbidopa. I would recommend having your vitamin levels checked (there is a break down for all b) and see if you need it. Then your physician can better guide you. You can take B12 since there has not been a documented interaction and it is important for brain health.
