B6

[Debra Sutton <nhisimage@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My pharmacist told me to be careful not to take B6 while taking Sinemet as it 
interferes with the absorption of B6 into the brain.  I was curious and decided 
to investigate for myself. Sure enough he was right.  If you look up B6 on the 
internet a warning is listed about taking it while taking drugs for Parkinsons. 
 Likewise if you look up Sinemet it gives a warning about B6.  My understanding 
after further conversations with my pharmacist is that it is only B6 that is a 
problem.  Other B vitamins such as B12 are fine.
You might also wnt to watch out for tyrosine.  It is supposed to interfere with 
the absorption of sinemet too.  Just FYI.
