Since the Recall of Neupro patches, a popular Parkinson's disease medication, patients mainly in the US have found themselves without a supply of the product! Many patients have begun a transition to different therapies since no information about the end of the shortage has been forthcoming.

The reason for the recall was summarized by Iris Loew-Fredrich, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer, UCB as follows:

"The issue is not one of product contamination or toxicity but rather one of possibly reduced clinical performance of some patches,"

Follow up:
