THE EFFECT OF RASAGILINE ON PARKINSON'S DISEASE

New England Journal of Medicine [2009] 361 (13) : 1268-1278 (Olanow CW, et al) Complete abstract

Claims based on the results of a recent clinical trial that Rasagiline (Azilect) slows the progression of Parkinson's Disease are not supported at all by that study's results. Yet it has still been very widely, and falsely claimed that Rasagiline slows the progression of Parkinson's Disease.
Imad,

Thank you for sharing this research finding. Many people are helped by Rasagiline, but I could not tolerate the side effects. I also felt worse over all when on it.

It's interesting that so many myths seem to exist over treatments and a lot of the misinformation seems to start at the doctor's office

If you look closely at the latest Azilect study- they claim it's neuroprotective despite unclea, contradictory results and the lea researcher has direct ties to Teva, the pharma that happens to make the drug. It's hard not to see this as flawed.
