Expert advice for Levodopa
- Take it with or without food or as suggested by your doctor.
- Avoid a high-protein diet (e.g. meat, eggs, and dairy products) while you are taking this medicine as it can reduce the amount of medication absorbed by your body.
- Avoid vitamin supplements while taking Levodopa as it may reduce the effectiveness of the medicine.
- It may cause dizziness. Do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you.
- When you start the medication, get out of bed slowly, as the medication may cause lightheadedness or fainting.
- Inform your doctor if you notice an urge to gamble, increased sexual urges, binge eating, or uncontrolled spending.
- Do not stop taking the medication without talking to your doctor first.
