Does Carbidopa Contain MAO Inhibitor?
Question: Does carbidopa/levo have mao in the pills?
Brief Answer:
Carbidopa/levodopa is dopamine, no MAO inhibitor.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
Carbidopa/levodopa is not an MAO inhibitor. It does not have mono amine oxidase in it.
If you write me which preparation of Nyquil you are wanting to take, I can use a medication interactions checker to see if there are any contraindications with taking it with your carbidopa/levodopa. There are many different formulations of Nyquil and they each have different ingredients, so if you let me know which one I can focus my search.
