Pentasa-International Trip?? URGENT-LEAVING SOON, PLEASE HELP :)

Hi everyone,

My 12 year old son with Ulcerative Colitis has been learning Japanese for 2 years and I promised him he could go to Japan when he was fluent. He is currently taking 1 gram of Pentasa 4 times a day, and we are worried as to how to deal with the 16 hours ahead of the Pacific Time that Japan is...Anyone have any thoughts as to what to do to make sure he doesn't skip much of his meds? Let me know :)

I think I'd just figure out how many hours it is between each of his doses and stick to that kind of schedule rather than by going by the time on the clock.

Well, since four times a day means he should be taking it roughly every 8 hours, just stick to that.
