Looks like new Marplan generic in Denmark:

Posted by PeterMartin on June 14, 2018, at 18:39:17

Marplan is unavailable in the US probably until the end of the year. There's on one company making it but running a Google search by week I came across this new link that seems to say a new generic is being marketed in Denmark:

http://min.medicin.dk/Medicin/Praeparater/759

There a pill photos and prices even I think(using Google the translate).

The cost of the US generic by Validus is ridiculous w.o. insurance (like $1500 a month). Is there anyone in Denmark or familiar w their monetary system who can interpret how expensive this new Danish one would be?

Also would it be legal to import in a case like this where I'd have a script but the medicine is in shortage (FDA page https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/drugshortages/dsp_ActiveIngredientDetails.cfm?AI=Isocarboxazid+Tablets&st=c&tab=tabs-4&panels=0)

I have looked at the page. It gives some general information about Marplan including the price. It costs DKK 580 for 56 x 10 mg. That is roughly USD 80. However the page does not say that Marplan is available. I have searched around on different Danish pages without finding any definitive and up to date information whether it is still on the market. I have seen hints that it is off the market in Denmark too. Not much help but that is all I hae been able to find.

Thanks so much Viking!!

I was most interested in the price which is reasonable compared to the US company.

I'd never found any other generics before so I'm pretty sure that is a new link. Maybe production is just ramping up.

Thanks a lot for looking/explaining it.

I did some further investigation. According to some old page Marplan is only sold/produced by one pharmacy in Denmark. It may be old information, but you can try to contact the pharmacy. The contact info is:

Glostrup Apotek
Hovedvejen 101
DK-2600 Glostrup
Denmark

Phone: +45 43 96 00 20
E-mail: glostrup@apotekeren.dk
