My husband was intubated last summer. There are no iv pd meds. After he was removed from intubation, soon as I could convince the doctors he was put on sublingual Sinemet(Parcopa. Loss of swallowing is common when a person is intubated. It took him about 3 days to be able to swallow pills.

Needless to say he went 7 days with no Parkinson's meds while he was intubated. Then he finally got the Parcopa.
