parkinson's disease carb/levo side effects
As time goes by, many people will begin to experience intolerable side effects of carbidopa-levodopa. While these side effects are not usually dangerous, they often signify that it is time for your healthcare provider to reevaluate your current Parkinson's disease treatment plan. Some of these side effects include: 1  Nausea and vomiting. 2  Abdominal pain (stomach pain), diarrhea, or constipation. 3  General weakness or fatigue. 4  Increased sweating or dark (red, brown, or black) saliva, sweat, or urine. 5  Loss of appetite, weight loss, or weight gain. 6  Indigestion or heartburn. 7  Dry mouth, taste changes, or drooling.

A research group has now found a way to study what it is in the brain that causes these side effects. Share: FULL STORY.
