Many people with Parkinson’s take other medications to treat various unrelated conditions. Because some medications can interact with others, it is very important to tell your doctor or health professional about any other medicines, remedies or supplements you are taking, including over the counter medications that have been bought without a prescription.
Some medications may have harmful interactions with other medications known as contraindications, and may worsen your symptoms or bring on Parkinson’s type symptoms that will disappear if you stop taking that medication. Telling your doctor about other medicines, remedies or supplements you take can help to reduce the risk of contraindications.
If you have any concerns or are apprehensive in any way about your medication please discuss with your doctor, health professional or pharmacist as soon as you can. They will be able to advise you and put your mind at rest.
