Hi all... Recently during a hospital stay, two of my PD meds were changed:
A. My agoniist -- Miirapex to Parlodel (Bromocriptine)
B. My COMT -- from Tasmar to Comtan (Entacapone) 200 mg/dose
I would like to know:
1. My understanding is that Comtan needs to be taken with each dose
of Sinemet in order to boost the effectiveness of the Sinemet. Is there a
window of time after takiing the Sinemet in which one may still benefit from
taking the Comtan?
2. I take this pill generally in fruit jelly. It seems 'chalky' to
me and I often find I have a reflux reaction or upset stomach (no matter what
substance I use with it).. Is this very common with this med?
thanks
