>Hey there,
what your doctor should write on the prescription depends on what he wants to prescribe you. In the UK and the Netherlands, phenelzine is available as Nardil. In Belgium and Luxemburg it's Nardelzine.
I went to a Belgian pharmacy with my script that said "Nardelzine 100 tbl." and it worked fine. I'm not sure what the script has to say if you want to import a medicine, but I would assume that similar rules apply. If you want to be sure, go to a pharmacy near you and ask them about what your script must say in order to be valid.
When bought locally, Nardelzine costs around 34 per 100 tablets. When importing it, the price may be somewhat higher. I'm not sure about the price of Dutch or British Nardil. They all shouldn't be really expensive though, because phenelzine has been off-patent for a long, long time.
I hope that helps...
