Following a new study for an old drug

Hello All,

A conversation with a friend of Kim's, resulted in myself looking into a study posted in the Medical Journal of Australia in 2008, about a old drug called Bethanechol. Not normally used for cerebral palsy or muscle spasms, this study shows interesting results. We need to check to see if it will effect his seizures adversely. But currently the Neurologist is investigating whether Harrison has epilepsy or if his events are a result of muscle spasm and twitching

I don't think there has been a study with children yet. But our GP believes it worth while talking to the Neurologist.
Regards Matt
