Subject:        Re: Permax


I will ask the Permax team to respond to your question. Simply, pergolide is
off patent in most global markets. Part of the reason the costs may seem
relatively high are the associated manufacturing costs which exceed the
Lilly norm. Future directions in Parkinson's research rest in early phase
clinical development and encompass a new platform approach based on the
so-called "excitatory amino acids" in brain. Good luck.
