The site is sponsored by Somerset Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the makers of Eldepryl®, a drug used to help keep Sinemet® doses lower over time and therefore prolong the usefulness of Sinemet. The primer is titled “About Parkinson’s Disease�? and includes information about therapies, tips for daily living and research. Click here for the primer. As you would expect, the therapy section talks a lot about Sinemet and Eldepryl. Sinemet® is a registered trademark of Merck & Co. Inc. Eldepryl® is a registered trademark of Somerset Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
