Margaret, I do not know how I can help, but if you give me a specific assignment to research, I will do my best. I do know that every time I have a new prescription my pharmacist does a printout from his computer of interactions and side effects for me. He watches everything that comes through on me because of the many interactions. I am so gratefull for him. He not only checks my PD meds, but watches for interactions with others that are given by my gp for other ailments, that is how I found out that I cannot have any opiates as long as I take Eldepryl. However, the indicin anti-inflamitory for my gout does not react with any of my PD meds. And it worked on my gout wonderfully. At any rate. I have no medical degree, but I am a researcher by profession and will do what I can to help. Just tell me what you want me to do, Margaret.
