Kemadrin is available in tablet form and should be taken orally, usually 3 to 4 times a day after meals and at bedtime or as directed by a healthcare professional. Swallow tablets with a glass of water, preferably with food. Your doctor may initially prescribe a low dose and slowly increase it to determine the optimal dosage based on your medical condition and response to the treatment.
Take Kemadrin regularly at the same time each day to get the most benefit from it. To avoid potential interactions, take Kemadrin at least 1 hour before antacids containing magnesium, aluminum, or calcium, and at least 1-2 hours apart from adsorbent antidiarrheals such as kaolin, pectin, attapulgite. Do not take the tablet within 2 hours after taking ketoconazole as this may prevent the complete absorption of ketoconazole.
If you are taking Kemadrin for side effects from another medication, your doctor may instruct you to take it on a regular schedule or only as needed. For Parkinson’s disease, your doctor may adjust the dose of your other medications such as levodopa. Follow the doctor’s instructions closely and do not stop or change the dose of your medication without their approval.
Kemadrin may sometimes cause addiction, especially for people with a substance use disorder. Do not increase the dose, take it more often, or use it for an extended period than prescribed. When discontinued, the dose should be gradually decreased rather than stopped abruptly to avoid potential worsening of symptoms.
