Default Isradipine used for high blood pressure!
On 1st June, I posted,
"The important thing is all the data points in the same direction. I have looked for substances that reduce the permeability of the BBB, and have found that statins and hypertension drugs (high blood pressure) reduce the permeability. Do they also improve PD symptons?? I have some evidence that hypertension drugs do reduce symptons. "
In http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releas...-nfd060707.php, it says,
"isradipine, a drug widely used for hypertension"
I know a PWP who was diagnosed 20 years ago, has been taking hypertension drugs for those 20 years, and has never needed any PD meds.
The next question is does Isradipine reduce the permeability of the blood-brain barrier???
