Sinemet and Gaviscon drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Sinemet (carbidopa; levodopa) and Gaviscon (aluminum hydroxide; magnesium trisilicate). Common drug interactions include affective disorder among females and dyspnoea among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Sinemet and Gaviscon. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 36 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Sinemet?
Sinemet has active ingredients of carbidopa; levodopa. It is often used in parkinson's disease. eHealthMe is studying from 29,601 Sinemet users. Check the latest studies of Sinemet.
What is Gaviscon?
Gaviscon has active ingredients of aluminum hydroxide; magnesium trisilicate. It is often used in gastroesophageal reflux disease. eHealthMe is studying from 12,355 Gaviscon users. Check the latest studies of Gaviscon.
36 people who take Sinemet and Gaviscon together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on carbidopa; levodopa and aluminum hydroxide; magnesium trisilicate (the active ingredients of Sinemet and Gaviscon, respectively), and Sinemet and Gaviscon (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
