This drug is and when approved will be for diabetic patients only. I tried to get drug...not available in US unless for Research use. Japan has pirenzepine in tablet form. I live in NY. Compounding pharmacy here said no on compounding to make a cream since I don't have a prescription. So i would have to make into a cream myself..might try though. Trials are going well. I do not have neuropathy caused by diabetes.

Although the research was on diabetic PN they have stated it will work to regenerate nerves for other causes. The have also done research for chemically induced PN and had success. they only do research using these type with known causes because they are better control groups. They are trying to get phase 3 trials completed in Europe since pirenzepine is already an approved safe drug there and could be faster to get final approval. Maybe if approved there it will help get approval in US.
