Gastroparisis And Medications
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

The drug that helps the stomach to digest faster conflicts with PD C/l. Is there another drug that does work?

"Medication adjustments. Although several medications are commonly prescribed to manage gastroparesis, many interact negatively with Parkinson’s medications, so be sure to talk with your physician about any adjustments. (Commonly prescribed gastroparesis medications include prochlorperazine or chlorpromazine, but both are contraindicated as they can worsen Parkinson’s progression by impacting the central nervous system.) If you don’t already, one crucial medication adjustment you can make is to take your carbidopa/levodopa on an empty stomach with a full glass of water. This helps it move as quickly as possible from your stomach to your small intestine, where it is absorbed.
