Professional:

Limited data suggest that reserpine may block the antiparkinsonian effects of levodopa. The mechanism is believed to be reserpine-induced depletion of brain dopamine. There is little clinical evidence for this theoretical interaction. In general, however, alternative antihypertensive therapy is recommended for patients in whom levodopa is required.
