Hello---I just returned from a visit to Mayo's in Minnesota. My PD neuro advised me he is not prescribing Eldepryl any longer. He reports the British study plus two others subsequent, fail to demonstrate it's medicinal value in PD. One must remember medicine is not an exact science, however this parky is glad to be off this drug. It also saves $4.00 per day. Also he stressed the importance of taking Sinemet on an empty stomach. Like wise a low protein diet is best since protein tends to compete with levodopa for absorption into the system through the lower intestine. In my case he prescribed Crispride to assist in emptying the stomach sooner after eating. You take it 15 minutes prior to a meal. That's the latest from this Kalamazoo parky. Jim Ryan 56/7
