I have relatively little personal knowledge of PD medications. Dietitians are generally concerned with drugs insofar as they relate to the process of metabolism -- if they interfere with taste, smell, or appetite, cause dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, interfere with nutrition absorption or if food interacts with the metabolism of the drug, RD's are informed and involved. To this extent I have knowledge of PD meds. And, because I feel it's important to educate my clients, I maintain current pharmacological software on which I list all their medications. I then process the list for drug-drug interactions, additive effects, adverse reactions, and patient instructions. I can take the information you have sent and process it in the above manner, if that is what you're looking for. And, though I don't have the archived drug list, I could certainly look at it as well. However, I have had no luck regarding the information sent by Joy G. I get codes only. But I can use the information that you sent. I should add that I'm maxed out for volunteer work at this time. This would have to be a long-term project. I could probably work at it for an hour or so per week. Is that too slow?
