it is expensive, you can get financial assistance from TEVA if your income is low enough.

you can get it in canada i believe for $250.00/30 pills. over $400 in U.S

less expensive alternatives would be to add COMTAN and/or an agonist. you might have already tried those.

can you get free samples for a month and try it, i believe you can stop it cold with no side affects.

generic is at least a year off.

Very expensive here in the states. Got mine thru Canadian pharmacy when I was in it. Didn't seen to help all that much so my doc took me off it.

I started on Azilect 6 years ago to add to Sinemet and Amantadine and it changed my life and I believe it is Neuro Protective as well. I am into my 11th year since diagnosis, am 70 next July and have just come back from boxing training!
