It is very hard to make a drug that can adequately cross the blood brain barrier without being absorbed through the gut. When there is financial incentive, there is reason to make alternate formulations (i.e. transdermal methylphenidate, orally disintigrating olanzapine, intramuscular risperidone) but it seems like the market is just not there for MAOIs. Especially given the poor sales of EMSAM.
