If you haven't already done so, please register with them. They need a lot more people to register before the FDA will allow them to provide this on a "compassionate use" basis. Yes, pirenzepine has been used for decades orally for various ailments and is effective but has some serious, though not frequent, side effects when used by the oral route. WinSanTor's drug is a topical version of this that eliminates most of the side effects. Unfortunately, the FDA is attuned primarily to drugs that treat peripheral neuropathy pain not drugs that can actually modify the course of the disease; so it will take longer and be much more expensive to get this through a phase 3 trial and win FDA approval. Time will tell, but in the meantime this compassionate use option is well worth pursuing.

I’ve filled out this registration and am willing to pay for it but have had no reply from the company. Is WinSanTor communicating back with any of you?
