The combination can cause a serious interaction called serotonin syndrome
Dextromethorphan/quinidine is, in this sense, analogous to carbidopa/levodopa, a treatment for Parkinson’s disease, in that quinidine serves to prevent the breakdown of dextromethorphan like carbidopa serves to prevent the peripheral conversion of levodopa into dopamine
