Difficulty swallowing is common in pd patients that have had the disorder for a few years. I have a problem getting the pills to stay down, and sometimes the pills stick in the back of my throat.
Another problem, is to avoid eating any food containing protein for at least an hour after swalloqing the pills, because the medication will not be absorbed.
What could help is to swallow the pills with his favorite fruit juice or soft drink. It goes down easier when you drink something that tasts good.
