Difficulty swallowing?

I have had PD for 6 years. Recently I’ve noticed difficulty swallowing my pills. What can I do?

PD medication is critical in the management of PD symptoms so taking pills is very important. Difficulty swallowing pills is a type of swallowing disorder. Some people report there are times in the day when swallowing is easier than others and sometimes swallowing gets more difficult over the course of the disease. I suggest you call your physician to describe your symptoms and request a swallow evaluation with a speech-language pathologist who is experienced in treating people with PD. You need to swallow well to keep your medication levels consistent
