Seems Israpidine shows a lot of promise. Wondered if anyone here had tried it?

It seems the problem is it lowers blood pressure too and the concern has to do with using too much with PD patients already battling low blood-pressure.

Is it too late to participate in the trials

isradipine?

2014

"Parkinson's Disease news breaks that a drug that could stop or slow Parkinson’s disease (PD) is advancing in clinical testing.

, the drug isradipine is proceeding to Phase III testing, the last step before regulatory approval. With a $23 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, researchers will test if isradipine has an effect on PD progression. Previous studies showed drugs in the same class, calcium channel blockers, were associated with lower incidence of PD.

When recruitment for this study begins later this year, it will be the most advanced, current trial of a disease-modifying therapy for PD."

I use it. Been on it a year. It helps. I can tell because i went off of it for a few weeks and felt worse. Its blood pressure effect is mild.
