I started on Zandopa, low dose. How many tsps is 3.75grams of Zandopa. Don't want to start with too much. Thanks

For weighing meds there is is no substitute to getting an accurate milligram quantity scale. This can be had cheaply from Amazon.

Thanks for your post. It made me think...(always good for the noggin 🤔 ) as I Googled 7.5 grams to tablespoons....1 tbsp. (uses sugar as the example) is 12.78 grams. The 1 tbsp. scoop in the Zandopa container is 7.5 grams so not the same as weight as sugar. My weight scale is not with me but I will weigh it when I get the chance. If you're trying to take 1/2 tbsp. of Zandopa then you are getting 3.75 grams according to the package. I take 1/2 tbsp. Zandopa and 1/2 Sinemet. It is close but not quite amount of 25/100 Sinemet. I say this because of trial and error adjustments with it. Hope this helps.
