[Dysphagia] Sinemet

What is the latest information on a relationship regarding timing of medication (Sinemet) before a meal in a patient with Parkinsons (my new patient is rapidly declining since admit two weeks ago)?  Is it of any benefit?

A quick Google search revealed that a journal article in Dysphagia around 2003 concluded there was no benefit.  I believe this has been discussed on the list in the recent past but the archives only go back to May 2004 and I didn't find anything there.  

Thank you,
Linda A. Zanchi, MA CCC-SLP
