  • EfficacyMajor
  • Side-effectsNone
  • AdherenceAlways
  • BurdenModerate
  • Treat Parkinson's
Advice/Tips
Start using it, as low dosage as possible. I truly know that had I taken it early on I would not have the deterioration I have. Since using Neupro, I am 80% better in some ways, and 100% restored in other ways.
Burden
The cost. It is pricey because I have to order it from Israel. Insurance does not cover it
Cost
$200+ monthly

Advice/Tips
Pray Neupro patches become available again soon in the US.
Burden
the cost - the 2mg/24h cost me $13.10/patch from Israel, so I wear each patch for 2 days. This halves my daily/monthly out of pocket cost and I haven't noticed any difference in symptoms.
Cost
$100-199 monthly
