Is Pirenzepine approved in the USA. Has anyone tried it and what were the results. I’ve read quite a lot about it and it seems to be the first medication that offers a cure.

My understanding is no. See: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/stage-2-trials-of-pirenzepine-for-neuropathy/

This is also the reason that Stage 3 trials are on hold as it became to expensive to have to get the drug OK'ed vs. just getting the use for peripheral neuropathy approved.

From what I've read, pirenzepine is still in the final study stages. The drug itself had been around for gastric issues for a long time, but the topical form for neuropathy isn't approved yet.
I hope we see something soon.
