Greetings,
My PWP is on Sinemet CR 25/100 4x/d. Is it best to go to 5x/d or to increase to 50/200 4x/d. Not sure if there is a "science" to dosing or is it trial and error.

it is usually recommended that a person increase to 2 tablets of the 25/100 four times daily then adjusted accordingly. The dosing of this and most PD medications is a " start low and go slow" philosophy. Your body will tell you when you you need the mediaction and it should be evaluated on a patient by patient basis.

Best of health,
Mark
