Hello all. I have both PD and osteoporosis. When I got my PD diagnosis last year, I was on a rest period from all osteoporosis treatments except Vitamin D. My recent bone density tests were not too bad, but the docs are concerned about my PD and want me to resume the osteo medication. This time they

MyBeloved has taken madopar capsules at maximum dose daily for years. What happens next?
what consultant told him was maximum dose is 5x2 capsules (one is cr). If you reached the end of effectiveness what were you offered as choices?

JUST CURIOUS
Since joining this forum I have been so well educated and so well informed, but still I find myself coming up with questions. I am beginning to realise that maybe I have been very lucky, in that I have been taking very heavy medications for many, many years, and it's only now that I'm heading towards

Medication storage
The hot weather in the UK continues and I note that Madopar, and probably other medications as well, should not be kept above 25*c. Not easy unless you have a/c. Can prolonged high temps affect the effectiveness of the medication and can it be kept in the fridge?

Sinemet: factors affecting variability - gastric emptying
Sage et al 1994 summarily present factors which affect availability of levodopa. Roos et al 1993 compare C/L levels after empty-stomach ingestion with C/L levels after C/L has been ingested with a meal. Chen et al 2012 describe a newer form of controlled release Sinemet: gastric-retentive extended-release

15 hour a day peg feed blocking madopar?
Having had problems with swallowing I’m on direct tube feed to stomach. My diet consists of high nutrition liquid feed for 15 hours a day. My PD medication consists of 180mg madopar 3 Times a day plus 8mg Repinex , all fed by the tube. I wondered why my tremors were worse than before my swallowing problems
