Scotland Approves New Parkinson’s Treatment | Glasgow News
Description
Scotland’s NHS is now offering Lecigon, a groundbreaking infusion therapy for advanced Parkinson’s, using a wearable pump to deliver meds directly into the intestine—offering hope to patients with severe, unpredictable symptoms that oral drugs can’t control. While Parkinson’s UK Scotland celebrates this major step toward better symptom management, they warn that funding and staffing shortages could block access, as has happened with past treatments. The charity urges NHS Boards to prioritize resourcing so patients can actually benefit from these life-changing therapies.
