Our Favorite Drugs Following is a list of drugs which have been indicated for treatment of PD patients. It includes those for the relief of the common PD symptoms and some that are secondary for related problems such as depression, "acid stomach", etc. I have prepared a file of about 50k size to include drug interactions, adverse reactions, countraindications, and relative cost data. The major weakness in the list is that these data are only those reported officially by the suppliers and do not yet reflect the anecdotal experience of our "900+ Club". Your contributions of this experience are welcome. If you send me your e-mail address I can upload the file for you in regular text or zip-compressed as you desire.
