Why are doctors >prescribing eldpryl? Firstly: - I'm not qualified - I don't know the details of the study - So this is just my point of view! I think you might find that in the end patients have a choice along the lines of: - either on't take eldpryl and have a possibly slightly longer life - or take eldpryl and perhaps have a better quality of life with perhaps a slightly reduced life expectancy i.e. patients are going to have a *choice* which they can discuss with their medical advisor and make the best decision for them. Having said that, I don't think the experts have agreed much yet. Simon --------- My opinions are my own, NIP's opinions are theirs ---------- Simon J.
