Consumer:Carbidopa may reduce the effects of droxidopa. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if your symptoms worsen or your condition changes during treatment with these medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:MONITOR: Coadministration with dopa-decarboxylase inhibitors such as carbidopa may reduce the therapeutic efficacy of droxidopa, which is directly metabolized in vivo to norepinephrine via decarboxylation. Droxidopa is believed to exert its pharmacological effects through norepinephrine and not through the parent molecule or other metabolites.
MANAGEMENT: Dosage adjustments for droxidopa may be required during coadministration with dopa-decarboxylase inhibitors if an interaction is suspected.
