Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

carbidopa droxidopa

Applies to: Lodosyn (carbidopa) and Northera (droxidopa)

MONITOR: Coadministration with dopa-decarboxylase inhibitors such as carbidopa may reduce the therapeutic efficacy of droxidopa, which is directly metabolized in vivo to norepinephrine via decarboxylation. Droxidopa is believed to exert its pharmacological effects through norepinephrine and not through the parent molecule or other metabolites.

MANAGEMENT: Dosage adjustments for droxidopa may be required during coadministration with dopa-decarboxylase inhibitors if an interaction is suspected.
