Now, back to Inbrija, in my opinion -great drug awesome alternative method to bypass GI. However, I believe it is a poor delivery system for people who are off or are busy on the run and need a quick boost-

I have been looking at this Inbrija method of delivery …personally I don’t think is very patient friendly for what it needs to accomplish…first we are using when off…that little contraption that requires setting up opening pill packets, twisting and prepping pen that is used for inhaling drug is very practical for using when in an “off” state or when we are on the go…it is so much easier to pop a pill or to use Parcopa sublingual. You can’t just take out this product out of purse or bag and take. (Although i would be curious if we can prep pen and carry with us to us as needed? this would be a much more efficient way to use in my opinion). also i am not sure why we have to do 2capsules at each treatment and not provide a bigger space to do both simultaneously rather have to insert each one separately doing capsule placement maneuver twice. ( as i said before in my opinion as doctor and patient, i think this product delivery and use of medication would work best if larger pen to put both capsules at once or one large pill). but in reality would be better to have pre-filled pens to use quickly when on the go or experience a sudden “off”or simply need a boost as it happens to me quite often when I am traveling or speaking etc. plus it seems that it is a bit bulky to travel with if have to carry all pills separate from pen.

I am extremely curious to hear from anyone who has used or using drug currently? what you like or dislike and how is working for you?

P.s. Finally YES FINALLY the much awaited and anticipated PD women Journal : Parkinson’s Diva: Hello Possibilities is now being distributed.
