Carol.... One of the best ways to quickly find out what ya need to know about mom's meds - the good, the bad, and the ugly - is to invest $16.95 in a VERY valuable book called "Worst Pills, Best Pills," by Sidney M. Wolfe, M.D., et al. I cannot speak highly enough of this book, and it's NOT limited to only drugs used in conjunction with Parkinson's - important, in my opinion, 'cause there's a LOT of M.D.s ----- even a lot of neuros who claim to be specialists in treating PD --- who don't know diddly about the drugs we have to take AND/OR what our respective and collective bodies are going thru on a daily basis. Best of luck ....
