DOSING OF (Parkinson's)
MEDICATIONS
Re. Dosing of Parkinson's Medications (News Letter Volume 9 Number 1):
Time of dosing is very important. It is even more of a challenge when you have issues with memory or are very active. There are many ways to alert you that it is time to medicate (no particular order):
The vibrating pill box is great when there is a hearing deficit. Patient compliance is fundamental for continued overall function when you have a PD diagnosis.
Ask to see some examples of pill reminder products when you come for your PADRECC clinic visit.
An occupational therapist can also be consulted to help you find an appropriate pill reminder system, and teach you how to use it.
