Interactions between your drugs
pyridoxine foslevodopa
Applies to: cyanocobalamin / folic acid / pyridoxine / strontium gluconate, foscarbidopa / foslevodopa
Ask your doctor before using foslevodopa together with pyridoxine. Pyridoxine may decrease the effects of foslevodopa resulting in less foslevodopa available for your body to use. You should be advised against taking pyridoxine-containing vitamin supplements. If your doctor prescribes these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Drug and food interactions

Applies to: cyanocobalamin / folic acid / pyridoxine / strontium gluconate

It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
strontium gluconate food
Applies to: cyanocobalamin / folic acid / pyridoxine / strontium gluconate
Strontium gluconate should be taken on an empty stomach 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal and preferably at bedtime unless otherwise directed by your doctor. You may experience reduced absorption of strontium gluconate in the presence of food or milk. This will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication.
foslevodopa food
Applies to: foscarbidopa / foslevodopa
Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of foslevodopa such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with foslevodopa. You may experience reduced effectiveness of foslevodopa in the presence of foods or enteral (tube) feedings with a high protein content. This may make the symptoms of Parkinson's disease worse. Talk with your doctor or nutrition counselor about the best foods to eat while you are taking this medication. Contact your doctor if your condition changes.
