One before each meal. if you tried 4 tablets of 10/100, you would get 40 mg. of carbidopa instead of 100 mg. of the carbidopa you are now consuming. that is below the recommended dose of 75 mg/day. my intake is 0.75 (three quarters of 10/100) tablet 7 times a day. this is 7 x 10 x 0.75 which is 52.5 mg of carbidopa it suffices for me, ron -- Ron Vetter 1936, '84 PD dz mailto:[log in to unmask] http://www.ridgecrest.ca.us/~rfvetter
