Do you by any chance have the prescription written down? As so many of us on the site have not come across this treatment it may be worth checking with your consultant (or whoever prescribed it). In UK we have a follow-up letter after each mtg with consultant or PD nurse which is also sent to our GP so there is little chance of error.
