In reply to Differences in Parnate 'brands'?, posted by cassandracomplex on March 24, 2013, at 16:36:45
Hi Cassandracomplex,
It seems that Goldshield Pharmaceuticals is now part of Mercury Pharma, at least according to this news release:
The version of tranylcypromine made by Goldshield is not available in U.S. pharmacies. I obtained my Goldshield tranylcypromine from an online pharmacy that I think is based out of the U.K., and as far as I know, that's the only way that anyone in the U.S. can obtain it.
I originally tried the version of tranylcypromine made by Goldshield (for the U.K.) after reading a message on this site from somebody else who had reported noticing a difference between Goldshield's tranylcypromine and the version of Parnate being made by GlaxoSmithKline at the time. I have not read any reports from individuals who've noticed a difference between the American Par generic and the American brand-name version of Parnate, nor have I tried the Par generic myself.
