In the category of "for what's it's worth," this came across in my alerts today...
"The discovery suggests that pirenzepine and other anti-muscarinic drugs – a class of nerve medication that is already used to treat Parkinson’s disease, motion sickness, irritable bowel syndrome and other conditions – could be used as a new treatment for peripheral neuropathy."

I wasn't clear exactly how the reversal takes place physiologically. But sounds hopeful. Look forward to them reporting pre clinical results - next month I think they said. |

Unfortunately this class of drugs is implicated in fostering Alzheimer's.
Anticholinergic - Wikipedia So there will have to be much more work done on this data to provide safe use for PNers.

This drug seems to be the most hopeful compound in any current pipeline. Article says it is safe for other uses. I checked the company website and there isn't much in the way of recent updates, but this would not be abnormal while clinical trials are ongoing. Timelines have this potentially ready for commercialization by 2019 or 2020.

This looks promising. If it were out now, I'd likely try it. Thank you all.
I also noticed this: WinSanTor – Researchers Publish Preclinical Data on Reversing Peripheral Neuropathy I wonder if the relevant compound they're talking about, so WST-057, is the one that has the side effects associated with this class of drugs. I also just noticed this on their site, and decided to sign up: WinSanTor – Patients. |

hello,
noted posts from those who were going "commando" by acquiring pirenzepine in topical solution for neuropathy. at 74, little to lose so I would like to talk with those who have gone down this path and what results they have experienced. so far, I have discovered only 1 source of pirenzepine in Japan and not sure of its purity etc..any advice appreciated and best to all out there.
