Something to watch for with Azilect. I have a 74 year old woman in my support group taking Azilect for about a year now. Her husband came up to me wanting to know more about the side effects of Azilect because she was having bad diarrhea. Not knowing much about this drug and his explaniation
of how bad the diarrhea was, I told him to stop the Azilect and call the doctor right away. I even handed him my cell phone to use right then and there. As it turned out, this action may very well have saved her life. She was becoming malnourished, her intestines were basically raw. She had just been to see her doctor two days before. I can't believe her doctor allowed this to go on. Then again, he is not an MDS.
