Two prominent doctors (Drs. Knoll and Kahlsa) reportedly prescribe this drug as a cure of Parkinson's and as preventative for both Parkinsons and Alzheimers. No significant side effects. Is it possible that a possible cure is being withheld from the general public because no one can come up with the several hundred thousand dollars required to conduct FDA required trials? What a shame, if true. I have been taking deprenyl for 20 years and so far am free of both diseases. Do you have any experience or knowledge of this drug? Thanks. d j. sekin
I don't think you can say it is being withheld from the public, since it is an FDA approved medication in the US and the approved uses include early stage Parkinson's, depresssion and Senile Dementia.
It can cause some side effects, which can be more prominent in elderly patients, such as: insomnia, dizziness, dry mouth and muscle pain.
