Hello J.R. Bruman and all,

Everyone handles  PD differently.   For me, a usable
agreement among us on the meaning of "half-life" (of a medication)
would be very helpful in planning an updated daily schedule
for my "salad" of PD medications.

J.R. used this term in reference to cabergoline.  Can we get a
couple of clear statements from those who are
"in the know" on what "half-life" means?

I have heard "half-life" used several different ways.  I think it may
mean the predicted elapsed time from the point at which a medication
begins to dissolve in the stomach to the point at which
half of it has been used up.

Am I anywhere near close (sort of like in the game of  horseshoes) ?

Thank you!


Ivan
