Hi,
My grandad is currently on co-caredolopa 4 times a day at 4 hour intervals as well as a slow releasing co-caredolopa at night. He has carers in and I am fighting with social services at the moment to get my grandad on a DOMMAR. Therefore he needs his calls increasing from 3 times a day to 5 times a day. S.S are only wanting to increase his calls to 4 times a day.
My question is: If 4 calls a day is all he is allowed. what would the side effects/issues he would have if his last 4 hourly tablet with his slow releasing parkinson tablet?
I would appriciate advice from all as this is a ongoing fight with S.S and his GP that I am involved in.
Please do ring the helpline above left which has medical and social advisers etc. who will help you talk through your grandad's situation.
Is your grandad seen by a Parkinsons Nurse Specialist? In areas where they are in place I think they might have the necessary clout to push for the "Get it on time" principle for Parkinsons medication.
