I Take Sinemet (levodopa/carbidopa) Three Times Per Day WITH A Meal.

Recently I have read about NOT taking sinemet with meals. The only restriction I have been doing is minimizing red meats. That's the only restriction my PA gave me. Everyone agree?

Read to take sinamet one half hour before taking your medicine or 90 minutes after. Should be on an empty stomach
