New Hope for Parkinson's Patients
Tuesday, June 24, 2008; 12:00 AM TUESDAY, June 24 (HealthDay News) -- A new medication and an improved delivery system for an older drug appear to hold promise for taming the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. In the first study, patients taking the drug SLV308 showed significant reductions in typical Parkinson's symptoms, such as tremors and slowness of movement. The results also indicate that SLV308 alone may help patients in the early stages of Parkinson's disease. Patients appeared to tolerate SLV308 well, although it did cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, headache and weakness. The study was supported by the drug's maker, Solvay Pharmaceuticals. READ article

Does anybody really believe that anymore? I hope there are people who are encouraged by it. This forum has some seasoned pwp. But there is always hope. It's falling on some deaf ears tho.
