Re: PARKINSON MEDS AND HEPATITIS

[Ivan M Suzman <cureit@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi BEtty,

Let me please add to your question.


Does anyone know if Tolcapone is, in specific circumstances, to be
avoided when a Hepatitis diagnosis has occurred in the past.?

 J.R.Bruman,. can you help here?

Hepatitis A, B, C, or D??

Would Entacapone also be avoided?



Thanks,
Ivan S.
