Avoid driving or hazardous activity until you know how Duopa will affect you. Your reactions could be impaired. Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy.
Avoid eating a diet high in iron or protein. These things can make it harder for your body to digest and absorb carbidopa and levodopa. Talk with your doctor or dietitian about the best foods to eat or avoid.
Drinking alcohol with Duopa can cause side effects.
