WARNING:
The majority of medications prescribed for the treatment of Parkinson's
Disease are compatible with other prescription drugs. However, there are a
few medications which may alter the action of Sinemet or its generic
carbidopa--levodopa. If medications are incompatible, an increase in
Parkinson's symptoms may occur. Please discuss with your physician the
possibility of drug incompatibility if one of these medications have been
prescribed. A copy of this list should also be made available in the event
of hospitalization.

Was it my imagination or was there a few exchanges about a contraindicated
drug resource for emergency room personnel to refer to when they were aware
a patient had Parkinson's?
