“I've tried cabergoline and bromocriptine with poor results. Typically makes me more tired, a little more interested in things, and much less sexually functional.”

How to Optimize the Effectiveness and Safety of Parkinson's Disease Therapy? - A Systematic Review of Drugs Interactions with Food and Dietary Supplements

Conclusion: We found evidence for levodopa positive interaction with coffee, fiber and vitamin C, as well as for the potential beneficial impact of low-fat and protein redistribution diet. Contrastingly, high-protein diet and ferrous sulfate supplements can negatively affect levodopa pharmacokinetics and effectiveness. For other drugs, the data of food impact are scarce. Based on the available limited evidence, all dopamine agonists (bromocriptine, cabergoline, ropinirole), tolcapone, rasagiline, selegiline in tablets, safinamide, amantadine and pimavanserin can be taken with or without a meal.

Preoperative medical therapy before surgery for uterine fibroids

Conclusion: Pretreatment with gonadotropin-hormone-releasing analogues may reduce uterine and fibroid volume and probably increases preoperative haemoglobin levels, but probably also increases the number of adverse events. Blood transfusions and operation time during hysterectomy may be reduced, with fewer women experiencing postoperative morbidity. SPRMs, such as ulipristal acetate, seem to offer similar advantages: they probably reduce uterine volume and increase haemoglobin level before surgery, and may reduce fibroid volume and fibroid-related bleeding. However, replication of these studies is advised
