When and How to Take Parnate

Some considerations for when and how to take Parnate include:
 
  • Parnate comes in tablet form. It is taken by mouth, usually two or three times a day.
     
  • It does not matter if you take Parnate with or without food. If it upsets your stomach, try taking it with food.
     
  • Parnate should be taken at the same times each day to maintain an even level of the medication in your blood.
     
  • For the medication to work properly, you have to take it as prescribed. Parnate will not work if you stop taking it.
     

Parnate Dosing

The dose of Parnate that your healthcare provider recommends will vary depending on a number of factors, including:
 
  • Your age
  • Other medical conditions you may have
  • Other medications you may currently be taking.
     
As with any medication, do not adjust your Parnate dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
