Has anyone out there heard anything about the gel pump being approved by the FDA soon?

gel pump for what?

[1dkramer in reply to PatV]

The pump that is used around the world, just not in the US and it slowly pumps your meds into your intestens. I have heard from three doctors it will be approved by the FDA by years end.

I am assuming that this is the ldopa gel that is known as duodopa in Europe and her in the UK? We use it when we can get it funded as it is expensive . Our youngest patient is 41 on this and for the right patient it is a superb treatment.

That the one. It's used all around the world for years, but we have to wait for the FDA approval. What bull when you know it works.
