My father is a Parkinson patient, for last 4 to 5 years, and has been taking a regular dosage of sinemet . thrice a day half tablet each time. he is 67 years of age. Now he is admitted in the Indian hospital, I have reason to believe that they have discontinued giving him medicines. They say, that he is a advance case of parkinson. Beyond help. Since he is unable , to take anything orally, they are supposed to insert a rice tube. But, have been waiting for last few days for the anethesist to come and do the need ful. They even made me sign a paper that i have been informed that he is dangerously ill. I would like to know , what happens if sinemet is stopped suddenly, being given , to a person who has been a regular taker for last 4 to 5 years. i just dont know what to do. PLEASE HELP ....
