U.S. approves “milestone” Parkinson’s treatment for 2025 release
Onapgo, a new wearable approved by the FDA, will give Americans with Parkinson’s a continuous, non-surgical way to manage their symptoms when it launches in late 2025. The small device delivers a steady infusion of apomorphine under the skin, bypassing the digestive system entirely — a real advantage for a disease that often slows digestion and makes pills unpredictable. In trials, patients cut their daily “off” episodes — those rough stretches when medication wears off and tremors return — by nearly two and a half hours on average. The therapy has quietly helped European patients for about three decades, and its U.S. arrival opens a gentler path for the roughly one million Americans living with Parkinson’s, part of a growing global push toward more humane, individualized care.
