Glp1 agonist prescription for Parkinson's in uk

[ianpur]

Hi can anyone recommend a UK neurologist who will prescribe a glp1 agonist for Parkinson's . Ideally liraglutide, lixasenitide or exanatide?Thank you

I don't know about that. I wouldn't think so but the final trial of Exanatide for PD finishes in 2024.

it will be easier just to buy GLP1 peptide

it will do the job just fine

What about your PCP? What about an online doc? Do you have high blood sugar so you can say you "need it" for another reason?

Just FYI, it irritates the bananas out of me that we can't make our own choices about drugs like this (with LONG safety records, merely repurposed)

And I would understand if, in order to take it you had to forego something else that was working, but there IS nothing else.

I take it, but I have medical family members willing to write prescriptions. It doesn't make me any less angry that others don't have that access.

Hi Ian,

A couple of UK-based neurologists that do are highlighted in this discussion:
