Unless your medication management of Parkinson's symptoms is very complicated, 15 minute variations from a schedule are unlikely to be particularly problematic. In fact, skipping a dose entirely could have more significant effects than taking a dose a few minutes early or late. That said, this is a question you should discuss with the prescribing physician. There may be reasons the prescribing physician would recommend keeping a more rigid schedule in your situation. For one thing, keeping a schedule often helps people avoid missing doses by accident. Still we have heard from many people with Parkinson's whose physician advises flexibility with medication timing to avoid complicating meal schedules or other parts life, especially in the early stages of Parkinson's.
Very informative; thanks Dr. Haug! I appreciate all the resources and excellent Webinars put on by the Davis Phinney Foundation. Now lets get a cure.
Thanks, Dr. Haug, for this comprehensive presentation! Lots of issues to discuss during my next appointment with you.
Excellent presentation on PD medication! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
