I put 1 mg Permax, 3.75 mg of Mirapex, 4 25/100 Sinemet tabs, (generic) and a 500 mg Vitamin C tab in 8 oz of water and drink 1 oz every couple of hours. I use an 8 oz Medicine bottle that I get from the pharmacy and I make it up a day in advance. I keep it in the refrigerator when I am at home and when I go out I carry it in a "fanny pack". It doesn't really need to be refrigerated. But it does have to be shaken thoroughly each time I take some. The advantage is that I don't have to count and mess with pills after the solution is made up and it also smooths out the inatke of the medication and thus smooths out the response. Hope this helps.
