Seeing the number and gravity of edema incidence reported by list
members, I'm surprised that nothing like it got into the PDR (package
insert) article. Used to trusting those articles like gospel, now not
so sure. I can't recall seeing any such reports in journal literature,
although I haven't searched. The PDR article does mention edema
reported by a few (on the order of 1%) trial subjects, including those
with early PD as well as advanced PD; but in both cases a comparable
number who got only placebo also reported it, so that alone doesn't
pin the blame on Mirapex.

BTW, I'm going nomail until after the Thanksgiving holidays. Cheers,
Joe
