Friends In Frederick 
Parkinson's Disease Support Group

Our November Meeting - THIS WEEK

OFF periods are common with Parkinson's Disease. That's when the medication is not working between doses. Our group has heard about several medications to help with OFF periods.

Inbrija is an inhaled form of levodopa that helps with OFF periods. 

Our November speaker will be talking about OFF periods and Inbrija. 

We will also have our usual informal discussion time while we're eating.
