Can I travel with my Pen?
Parkinson’s should not prevent you from doing the things you
love. When you go travelling you need to ensure that you have
enough Dacepton
®
to last you during the period you will be
away. Don’t forget about your pen needles, make sure you take
enough of them to use a new pen needle every time you inject.
If needed, you could ask your GP to prescribe an additional
D-mine
®
Care Pen for you, so you have a spare pen when you
go away on holiday.

therapy is.
Never stop taking any Parkinson’s treatment abruptly including
