What Antacid Is Ok To Use With C/l Meds. They Give Me Terrible Heartburn.
it is likely a good idea to discuss this with the doctor
"Can you take antacids with levodopa?
Antacids, which are used to relieve heartburn or indigestion, shouldn't be taken at the same time as other drugs. They may have an effect on the absorption of your Parkinson's medication."
"After oral administration, levodopa dissolves readily in acidic conditions and is absorbed from the proximal small intestine via the large neutral amino acid transporter. Therefore, it was suspected that the pharmacokinetics of levodopa is reduced by the co-administration of gastric acid suppressants and/or antacids"

I’ve had no problem with omeprazole or anti-acid tablets
I use omimprisol "spelled wrong" it is over the counter or prescription.
Thank! I have a lot of trouble figuring out what to eat. I have lost 45 lbs. Foods do nothing for me! Except make my life miserable 😢
My Gastroenterologist prescribes me a low dose, generic Pepcid; "Famotidine 40 MG TAB". I take one each morning. It protects me from everything except Chicago deep dish pizza, & Wrigley Field hot dogs with everything. I usually have to take a Tums or two after eating, but they are always worth the indulgence.

Do You Take Your Carbidopa/levodopa (or Any Form Of The Levodopa) By Itself Or Do You Combine It With Other Medicines?
Does Anyone Deal With Really Bad Heartburn? I Take Carbadopa/levadopa 5x A Day.
