Surely these are known drugs, (Levadopa), why years of research and "blind testing".
God, this situation stinks when we wait years for a different delivery mechanism for a 40 year old drug to be tested.
Why not provide Duodopa to all, today, whats the worst that can happen.
I will attempt to provide an update on UK status following my neuro meeting 11/09.
