Hi,
Nardil has been around for a little over 50 years. It just went generic in the US in December of 2010. The new generic version is made by Gavis Pharmaceuticals. They are just getting ramped up for production. My pharmacy could not get it last month, and sold me the Pfizer Brand Nardil for what I would pay for the generic with my insurance. In my case this is a huge difference. Generic phenelzine sulfate costs me $15. Brand name Nardil costs over $150 for 180 15mg tablets.I have yet to fill my generic phenelzine prescription, but it is waiting for me. I really anticipate no problems as most medications I take are generic and it should be functionally equivalent. This is not like the formula change in 2003, where many people noticed a profound difference in the efficacy of Nardil.
Good Luck,
Jedi
> I was just given this generic and charged $126 for the privilege which seems wrong to me. I assumed that a generic has been available the whole time, I'm surprised it has not. This prob explains why my PDoc never wrote "DAW" as there was only brand.
