Re: Sinemet Dosage Schedule


Mark,

imo, if your father eats three meals, then he probably would be better
taking whole tablets 30 to 45 minutes before each.  some of the medication
will be metabolized in the stomach.  but, taking some after a meal is likely
to be mostly metabolized there.
does he benefit from the whole pill before bed? I would reduce or eliminate
that one if he has vivid dreaming or disturbances of sleep.
