Kapi kacchu is a precurser to dopamine and I don't know if it will hinder the work of Azilect and Mirapex in treating Parkinson's.
Can you take Azilect & Mirapex along with the herbs kapi kacchu & Kotu Gola for Parkinson's. Thanks?

Kapikacchu should be used cautiously in patients with Parkinson's disease and in patients taking levodopa, dopamine, dopamine agonists (eg Mirapex), dopamine antagonists, or dopamine reuptake inhibitors as kapikacchu contain the dopamine precursor levodopa.
It is probably safe to take gotu-kola, however, check with your doctor first.
