It might one day be possible to take any drugs off a shelf and then have it ready to be used the very next day. This could benefit millions of people here in the UK and Ireland if the system goes ahead and is successful.

Dementia Drug Helping Parkinson's Symptoms

Haven't posted in a while, sorry about that...

But I'm here with some good news. You may well know someone suffering from Parkinson's disease. Drugs trials have revealed that symptoms can be reduced through the use of a drug called rivastigmine which prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter substance that helps us to concentrate. As you've probably figured out higher levels of this in the CNS (Central Nervous System) will help with movement. Hopefully there will be a significant decrease in the number of people with Parkinson's injuring themselves due to falling over and things like that. This advancement could greatly relieve the pressures on health systems. Not bad eh...
