Hi Everyone.

Regarding Barbara's question about Sinemet and a bad taste in the mouth...
I seem to recall that dry mouth is a typical side effect of Sinemet.  I
know this affects my mother.  She gets a bad taste in her mouth and bad
breath as a result.

Barbara, you're right that it's probably not at the top of the list of
Parkinson's problems, but it is *definitely* a legitimate and worthwhile
concern for patients.

Anyone want to explain the pharmacology behind all this?
Or relay any helpful hints?

Best wishes,
Joanna
