I agree with you guys that Cyprenil and Selepryl could quite easily be selegiline HCl, especially given the "flexibility" of Mexican pharmaceutical purity and labeling standards. However, as a chemist I know that it just isn't that difficult to make the citrate form if you've already got a lab equipped to make the hydrochloride form. So why lie about it? There's always the possibility that two separate companies ARE just making the hydrochloride salt and lying about it, but I fail to see the motive when it's so easy to make the real thing and stay honest...

Another related point: the main pharmaceutical chemist who testified FOR Discovery in their lawsuits wrote an affidavit stating that his professional opinion was that the superiority of Discovery's product lay in their purification procedures, NOT in the specific ion (citrate vs. hydrochloride) that they stabilized the selegiline with. So who knows? I think at this point it's pretty much subjective opinion about efficacy, regardless of whether it's citrate or hydrochloride...

Which still doesn't answer the most curious question of all: if Discovery REALLY discovered all these great cures and they're completely prevented from making a profit off of them by the FDA, why the hell don't they just distribute the manufacturing instructions as widely as possible? Sketchy stuff...
