> > And no, they don't use Desoxyn. I called the doctor that the maker of Desoxyn uses to research the stuff and give advice to the company on things related to it, and he said he was looking for studies but hadn't been able to find any yet. He said it was likely because it was first made in 1944.

>Ovation Desoxyn is the only 1 being made. They bought the rights to it and the Benzo Tranzene off Abbott several years ago. There is no other legal producer of d-desoxyephindrine available, no generics. Just Desoxyn
