Delda, Jacob, Ivan and all.
I can't recall seeing a letter from Upjohn that discusses its pramipexole
"labeling" interactions with the FDA.(Any steer in this direction would be
greatly appreciated) So the following may be redundant. Like many list
subscribers, pramipexole is very effective in controlling my PD symptoms and
I am therefore, like you all, very concerned about its approval and open
market availability.

Could Upjohn's "problem" with "Labeling" be a characteristic(s) of
pramipexole that the FDA would require be disclosed on the label or on the
data sheet that seemingly accompanies all perscription drugs? Could these
characteristics not affect pramipexole's , in the strictest sense, medication
effectiveness, but rather threaten its competitiveness/profitabilty in a
market that seems to be very active with new, and purportedly  promising PD
meds? Could it be that the "delay" (timing) of the commercialization of
pramipexole is not a result of FDA lethargy?

Any knowlege, insights, or speculations are appreciated.
