That's typically how it's done: you still take 60 mg. pills, but instead of three times a day, you might take them four or five times a day.

Thanks for your support and response, Abby. Son was informed this morning that a slow release form of Mestinon is also available. This sounds like a great alternative since the patient's body would have a steady supply of the medicine 24/7.
