  • Title: Interaction between levodopa and methyldopa.
    Author: Gibberd FB, Small E.
    Journal: Br Med J; 1973 Apr 14; 2(5858):90-1. PubMed ID: 4573316.
    Abstract:
    The interaction between methyldopa and levodopa was studied in 18 patients with Parkinsonism. Together they produced a fall in blood pressure in doses which when given alone had no effect or only a slight hypotensive effect. Severe hypotension never occurred. It is reasonable to give methyldopa to hypertensive patients on levodopa but the regimen should be initiated in hospital.
