    Teva Pharmaceutical Industries last week revealed positive results for the drug it developed in-house to treat Parkinson's disease.

    Teva, the world's biggest maker of generic drugs, stated that a daily 1-milligram dose of Azilect slowed the progression of Parkinson's disease in a Phase III clinical trial. Parkinson's has until now been characterized by inevitable progression of nervous system degeneration.
