Subject: B6
> My pharmacist told me to be careful not to take B6 while taking Sinemet as
it interferes with the absorption of B6 into the brain. I was curious and
decided to investigate for myself. Sure enough he was right. If you look up
B6 on the internet a warning is listed about taking it while taking drugs
for Parkinsons. Likewise if you look up Sinemet it gives a warning about
B6. My understanding after further conversations with my pharmacist is that
it is only B6 that is a problem. Other B vitamins such as B12 are fine.
> You might also wnt to watch out for tyrosine. It is supposed to interfere
with the absorption of sinemet too. Just FYI.
