I Have Difficulty Swallowing Stalevo, Can I Pulverize It?
If I totally pulverize stalevo will it pass through my system faster?
@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member I agree with @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member. That is the BEST ADVICE!!
@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, I'd suggest you ask your pharmacist. They should know better than anyone, including your doctor usually.
No, you should not split, crush, or chew Stalevo tablets. They should be taken whole. If you have difficulty swallowing, it's important to discuss this with your doctor to find an appropriate solution.

I take mine with a teaspoon of jelly, or cottage cheese. Seldom have any issue.
It should dissolve in your stomach faster, but I don't know if it will pass through your system faster.
Give it a try. If you use the same dosage it should do no harm.
