on second thought...

so far helen and i have said:
>>Does anyone have tips or guidlines for adjusting medication doses when
>>changing time zones?  I may be travelling to Italy with my father this
>>fall.  He takes 2 different meds in 6 doses through the day.  There is a
>>nine hour time difference between Vancouver and Rome.
>>If possible, I would appreciate any responses by email.
>>Thank you!  Helen

>the simplest approach i can think of is to consider his doses
>as so many minutes/hours apart during waking hours
>rather than at a specific time per the clock
>
>my 90 minute regimen survived a couple of trips to italy this way
>that was only a 5 hour time difference
>but this method should work regardless of the time zone change

the best thing to do
might be to take a personal med monitor
