(Apologies if others have written this. Just got back in town.) This does not happen to all Neupro patches (going "bad"). (None of the patches Laureen used before the ban were non-functional, for example.) Please Google Neupro and go to the Neupro site. The site will explain how to identify a faulty patch. Now, the heresay part: We were told by Laureen's neurologist that certain existing Neupro patches could lose their delivery effectiveness, and that experiments with keeping them refrigerated prior to sale were being conducted in Europe. We also were told that Neurpro was expected back on the market within another five months or so. Anyone have a reference on this? Thanks. Scott PS: By the way, Neupro really worked great for Laureen. >===== Original Message From Parkinson's Information Exchange Network <[log in to unmask]> ===== >a pharmacist just warned me - apparently the chemicals lose their >effectiveness when kept in the warm. > > >---------------------------------------------- >This mail sent through http://www.ukonline.net > >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] >In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn Scott E.
