Their website is very interesting. Peripheral Neuropathy and Our Drug - WinSanTor
WinSanTor says the've discovered compounds that prevent and reverse PN. Their lead drug is WST-057. "WST-057 is therefore a proprietary topical reformulation of an existing (off-patent) oral drug repurposed to be more conducive to treating patients with peripheral neuropathy."
It appears this drug is based on Pirenzepine, although they also mention a couple of other agents. Pirenzepine is not available in the US, otherwise I'd go doctor-shopping to get it.
Has anyone on this board in Canada, Europe, Japan, or elsewhere used Pirenzepine for treatment of their neuropathy? |
Hi Nilram
Oral pirenzepine would have to be taken at unsafe levels to have any effect, apparently. It is not sufficiently bioavailable in oral form to reach the nerve cells, unfortunately, or at least not at safe levels.
However, fingers crossed Winsantor should have a research study coming out this summer reporting on the use of a topical form of pirenzepine or another closely related antimascurinic such as oxybutynin.
