rasagiline
As I posted less than 10 times, I am not allowed to paste a link to the source. I wanted to give you guys some information I found about the neuroprotective effect of rasagiline.
Based on the readings I did, I think rasagiline is indeed neuroprotective. You can google for the TEMPO results. The patients have been followed up for 6 years. I saw a plot in which the % increase on the Parkinson disease rating scales was depicted in function of the years. People from the non-delay group at year 6 had the same score as people from the 6 month delay group at year 3. Also, variability was much smaller. I must say I don't understand why these results doesn't convince the scientific community that Azilect is not neuroprotective ? Does it have to do with the subjectivity of the rating score ?
These results were obtained for a 1 mg dose. It is a pity there are no results for people not taking Azilect. Also, what would be the neuroprotective effect if a 2 mg dose would have been used ?
