Hello Jacob, A little while ago the suggestion was made that contacting your Representative and Senators have been successful in finding out the status of a drug. Ofcourse, this contact can serve a double purpose --1/ complaint by a constituent to find out if the FDA's hold-up of the drug is legitimate , and 2/ urge your legislators to help pass the Udall bill as it is quite obvious that the PWP community is in great need of additional research funding. It is ludicrous that a sizable number of PWPs are standing in line waiting for THE "promised panacea". The last post by Charles T. Meyer stated: "The following is an e-mail letter I received from Hank Malinowski of the FDA regarding Pramipexole. It certainly makes a difference whether the NDA was filed in Jan 1996 or 1997. The time is certainly not inordinate if the application was filed Jan 1997 but there is a problem if it was Jan 1996 unless there was a major disagreement between the manufacturer and the FDA in which case I would support the FDA's efforts as doing their job." In any case, a phone call from your congressmen may make a difference. The toll free capital switchboard # is: 800-962-3524 Regards, Margaret At 12:00 PM 5/20/97 -0400, you wrote: >Has anyone out there heard anything from upjohn regarding the release of >Pramipexole.
