Terry, do you get the National Parkinson Foundation's quarterly publication
_Parkinson Report_? In the Spring, 1998 issue pages 10-11 is the best single
description of Tasmar (tolcapone) that I have seen. It's worth your looking
at it. If you don't get the _Parkinson Report_ I suggest you phone the NPF
at 1-800-327-4545 and ask for a copy.
