CoQ10, thought to help slow down the progression of Parkinson's is now on the list of acceptable drugs for claiming on the Long Term Illness Book. Note that you must obtain a Long Term Illness Book for this - if you have PD, you are entitled to this book. We have been told a medical card will not suffice. We have also been told that NO BRAND must be specified. As of November 2011, following further trial results which showed no advantage over placebo, this facility may be withdrawn.

Symmetrel (amantadine), which was to be withdrawn as of May 30 2008, is now apparently not being withdrawn, thanks to some quick action and protests by PALS to the supplier, IMB, and to Dr. Lynch who also took action, and the Dublin Branch PAI who spoke to the HSE. However, there may be a change in the supplier.
