In reply to Why isn't there a transdermal patch for Nardil????, posted by jms600 on September 20, 2009, at 14:14:25
That is an intersting question!
I didn't like the patch delivery system when I tries Emsam, though. I wonder if more engineering from their side could help it, (such as stick better when we want it on, and come off less painfully when we want it off) or if most people who use it don't mind the dermatological issues like I did. I wanted to give the active ingredient, selegiline, more time, though, so I asked my pdoc about other forms of it, and I was able to take Zelapar orally disintegrating tablets at much higher doses than the on-label Parkinson's dose was for, and so I did have to follow the dietary restrictions.
Someone should contact the makers of Nardil and Parnate and inquire about it! I would love to read their answers.
