How Important Is The Time Difference Between Taking Co-caroldopa And Eating A Meal- Which Should Come First?
I take co caroldopa four times a day 2x25mg
It's important to take Co-caroldopa (Levodopa/Carbidopa) 30 minutes to one hour before eating a meal to encourage efficient absorption. If you experience nausea after taking it, you may take it with a small amount of carbohydrate food, such as a plain cracker. Ginger tea may also help calm your stomach.

Ialwys try to take the c/l first - certainly prior to eating protein.
5 i take my 5:30 AM 9 o'clock AM. 11 AM 1 PM 3 PM 5 PM 7 PM 8:30 PM at 9:30 PM. I always eat before taking a pill.
The main thing is to avoid taking your pills with protein. For some people, it doesn't matter, but generally it is a good idea to take them 30-60 minutes before or after a meal with protein. My husband takes his first thing in the a.m., then eats about 45 minutes later, then about 60 minutes after lunch, 45-60 minutes before dinner, and finally around 9:30 p.m. (9, 1:15, 5:30, 9:30).
