Considering taking azilect, can anyone tell me when it is best to take it? morning, noon, or night? Before or after exercising?
I have taken it for 3+ years with my other breakfast pills. Don't know about exercising.
Do your research. I stopped taking Azilect, because FDA is investigating for misleading info in the marketing. I used to take in the am before exercise. BTW I believe exercise is the best way to fight PD. I also believe MJ is best for coping and dealing with PD. Good health to you.
I have taken Azilect for almost 3 years. My neurologist described it's function in terms of slowing down PD progression. He has me on Amantadine and Proprolanol for tremor control. I take Azilect and Amantadine in the am and Proprolanol and Amantadine in the evening.
I have taken Azilect 3+ years. I take it upon rising before breakfast with the rest of my medicine. I have had no problems with it.
iam taking azilect for 5 years now. content with the results no sids effects. taking it in the morning before exercise
Been on it 10 years. I take it in the am before I take my other meds stalevo and amantadine
My husband was prescribed it about 6months ago, he takes it at night an hour before bed, with a stavelo. Since taking this his tremor has gone (obsolutely amazing result for him) as his tremor was bad, I must mention unknown to us until quite recently his Neurologist (private treatment) is actually the head Neuro for PUK, he has got my husband back to 95% himself in a 12month period, adding and tweaking different meds on and off, until he was happy with the results. Why he says to take at night I do not know, but I have noticed most PWP take it in the morning?????? hope this helps x
I take mine with my first cocktail of the day. When I started with it 6 years ago, it changed my life
Hello DS310
I notice that one person takes his Azilect at night,together with his levo/carbidopa tablet. This is interesting in the sense that the Azilect may possibly act like, say, a Sinemet Controlled release (CR) tablet in keeping the Levadopa acting in the body for a longer period of time, just as it does if taken in the morning. I read the information leaflet that comes with the Azilect which states 'always take Azilect exactly as your doctor has told you.' Could it just be that Azilect is such a fairly new medication that the majority of neurologists have not yet fully explored its potential benefit if taken at night instead of the morning? Just a thought!
Regards
Norton
