> They'll make it up in pill form according to the original formulation. It would make no sense to give you a liquid, since there's no doubt the new Nardil contains the right amount of phenelzine, it's the new pill with its different binders and lack of hard shell that some people think may be causing it to dissolve too quickly in the stomach.

> QI was under the impression that a compound pharmacy could only change/remove excipients if the patient had specific allergies to one or more of the excipients, and the medication was deemed medically necessary by a doctor. I know a compound pharmacy can also provide discontinued medication...since nardil has not been discontinued, and has only been modified to remove potential allergins, I cant see how this would be possible. Also, the FDA considers many compound pharmacy meds illegal, since a "new" drug would be created.. i could be wrong... I HOPE im wrong! I wonder how much something like this costs?
