@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, I'd suggest you ask your pharmacist. They should know better than anyone, including your doctor usually.

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.
