I think the answer is two pronged: 1.Get Madopar licensed to sell their product, especially the soluble version , here in the u.s. Sinemet sales would drop because people would buy mnadopar. '2. At the same time , persuade the sinemet manufacturers locally to produce a soluble form - or be forced out of the market. Practical suggestions as to how one would put that into practice would be welcomed! hilary Blue Ivan M Suzman wrote: > > ^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) > Ivan Suzman 50/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) > Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 36 deg.
