Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about your dad's diagnosis. However happy because he i receiving the right drugs. Drugs known to interact with carbidop/levodopa are 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) 5-hydroxytryptophan droxidopa Northera (droxidopa). However, it would be unlikely to get this ass he is not on these medications. Vitamins do not interact with this drug. I have no idea about herbal supplements as there is no registered directory for this. If there is ant specific one that you are referring to, share the name with me and I may be able to tell if there is any possible interaction or not.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Hi,

there is no information on any possible interactions. Difficult to say if this means that all is totally normal. My suggestion would be to observe him and report any symptoms for scrutiny and suggestions.

I wish your dad well.
