There are +1,000,000 Parkinson’s patients and another 1,000,000 hypertensives with a family history of PD

Pharmaceuticals to supply:
Watson and Elite .

$500per year per patient
Split $1 Billion between Watson Elite and the Pharmacies
Watch what happens to the SP

Watch for leaks

Scientists believe isradipine works to prevent the death of dopamine-producing cells and therefore may slow the progression of PD.

Isradipine can affect the function of specialized channels that are present in the types of brain cells that are affected in PD patient. These cells are usually responsible for making dopamine, which is depleted in patients with PD. Isradipine may block the damage caused by the flow of certain chemicals through these channels. Laboratory data has showed that Isradipine may prevent the development of Parkinson-like symptoms in animals.

5 mg of isradipine taken twice daily for 36 months.

Elite’s e’s Isradipine is a calcium channel blocker approved for the treatment of high blood pressure and was recently tested as a disease-modifying drug for Parkinson’s Disease.
There is solid scientific basis as well as preclinical and epidemiological data that Elite’s isradipine has the potential to prevent development of parkinsonian signs.
Positive results from a Phase II study have provided support for a Phase III trial, STEADY-PD III, a major step toward a novel treatment to slow the progression of PD.
A lack of healthy dopamine neurons in the brain is the major cause of the motor symptoms of Parkinson disease (PD).

Dopaminergic nerve cells are unique in the brain because they have their own pacemaking rhythms.
These special rhythm changes are being driven by the chemical channels that are either sodium or calcium.
Calcium is more energy demanding and with age, these neurons increasingly rely on calcium channels.
What is the science behind it? The neuron cells’ reliance on calcium to drive this activity creates a lot of ‘wear and tear’ on dopamine neurons-aging them more rapidly than other neurons and making them vulnerable.

Elite’s Calcium channel blockers (class of drugs frequently used to treat high blood pressure), have possible neuroprotective effects that can slow or stop Parkinson’s progression.
Population studies have shown that current long-term use of calcium channel blockers has been associated with a significantly reduced risk of Parkinson disease.

STEADY-PD III (isradipine) clinical trial results will be released at the 2019 American Academy of Neurology meeting in Philadephia May 7, 2019.




STEADY-PD III (isradipine) clinical trial results will be released at the 2019 American Academy of Neurology meeting in Philadephia on the 4th-10th May, 2019.
