Is anyone taking Nilotinib? Would appreciate the name, address, phone number of any MD prescribing Nilotinib for pd. \ Don't understand why they aren't prescribing this obvious cross-over drug. Afraid it will hurt their income? The following quotes from the trial literature: - Nilotinib was well tolerated, with no serious side effects. - "The observed efficacy in cognition, motor skills, ,,, was the most dramatic result". said Dr. Pagan - Ten of the 11 patients who completed the trial reported meaningful clinical improvements. - Patients also showed positive changes in relevant cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers: a-synuclein, amyloid beta -40/42, dopamine, Tau and p-Tau To be fair, Nilotinib has exhibited some serious side effects, but at the much higher cancer dosages. Some of these side effects will most likely also appear at the lower pd dosages. BUT THE CURRENT CROP OF PD MEDS ALSO CAUSE "I CAN'T TAKE THIS DRUG" PROBLEMS. I rather take my chances with Nilotinib than continuing to suffer with Sinemet. Everyone has to demand that their neuros prescribe Nilotinib. We need a ground swell of rebellion against their refusal to prescribe! > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
