I Am Male 56 With Parkinsonism. I Take 1mg Levodopa
I am male 56 with Parkinsonism.
I take 1mg Levodopa 3 times per day (9am, 1pm, 5pm) which controls my Parkinsons motor symptoms throughout the whole day.
Suppose I don’t need to go out of my house from 1pm to 5pm and will be taking rest in my home, therefore could I skip taking 1pm dose and let the Parkinson symptoms be as it is or do you recommend to take the prescribed dose on time although I will be at rest.
The whole concept is to reduce drugs intake when not required and lessen side effects in the long run.
What do you’ll recommend.
