In reply to Questions about the UK Nardil formulation? Ed!?, posted by Tom Twilight on June 2, 2005, at 16:13:59
Hi Tom!
>Firstly I should point out that I’ve changed my name, I used to be called “The Resistance”.
I decided that the name was too aggressive, so I changed it :)Love the new name!
>Is it the same as the US formulation.?
No, it's a slightly different formulation. The active drug, phenelzine sulphate, is identical but there a few differences in the 'inactive ingredients'.
I sent an email to the UK manufacturer to find out what the inactive ingredients were. Here is the reply.........
Dear Mr Sykes
Thank you for your enquiry about Nardil (phenelzine) tablets that has been passed onto Link Pharmaceuticals Limited as Marketing Authorisation Holder for this product.
The excipients in Nardil tablets are listed on the Patient Information Leaflet that should accompany the tablets that your friend receives. However for your information these are mannitol, povidone, magnesium stearate, maize starch, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (E464), talc, polyvinylacetatephthalate, stearic acid, sunset yellow (E110), erythrosine (E127) and titanium dioxide (E171).
I hope that this is of information.
Yours sincerely
>The question is does the current UK Nardil formulation cause similar problems?
Ted_Brosnan (from Norway) is currently taking the UK Nardil. The last time we head from him he was doing very well. I don't think there's anything specifically wrong with the UK formulation of Nardil. I tried to find the posts where I compared the UK Nardil with the US Nardil in more detail but I couldn't find them :-(
>Thanks for the advice you gave me last week Ed, forgot to thank you!
You're welcome :-)
Kind regards,
Ed.PS. You're babblemail's off again!
