I have been taking Azilect for more than 3 years. My Neuro says its effect in slowing the progress of PD is scientifically proven and some people claim it has a positive effect on the symptoms. Personally I can not say yes or no to any one of these claims. But I know for sure that it has no negative and no side effects in my case. Well since it does not do any harm, if it can slow down the disease by a certain percentage, which seems to be proven, then I continue using it. My advice is "Do not worry, it has no obvious interaction with any food and is quite safe". Good luck.
