The medication your physician has prescribed for the treatment of
your Parkinson's disease has important benefits in the overall
management of your condition. However, there are also important
considerations that must be taken into account with your medication,
either prescription or nonprescription. Following are some helpful
hints to make taking your medication easier.

To make sure you get the full benefit of your medication, do not
pull apart capsules
Drink a lot of water with your medication -- 6 to 10 glasses a day
is a good amount
Keep a written diary of medication, benefits, symptoms, and any side
effects
Set an alarm clock to remind you of your next dose
Perform physical activities just after taking medication to help
with digestion and absorption
Warm baths may facilitate the action of your medication
Consult your doctor before changing or stopping any medication, and
inform him/her of any side effects that you think may be caused by
any of your medication
