In reply to Anti-depressant patch, posted by jms600 on January 18, 2004, at 16:05:48
from a p-doc "in-the know" writing to a friend a month or so ago...
"As it turns out, I talked to my contact person this morning. He believes it
very likely that the selegiline patch will be approved by the FDA in
February and will be on the market in 2005. Of course, one cannot absolutely
count on any timeline (or anything at all, for that matter) when the FDA is
involved. I'm told that the data look very promising."
> About 12 months ago, I read in a national newspaper about a new "anti-depressant patch", with some very good results.
>
> Basically, its a transdermal patch, which is worn on the skin, and feeds the MAO inhibitor Selegiline through the skin into the blood stream.
>
> The result being an MAOI anti-depressant drug without the dietary restrictions.
>
> Does anyone know when this may be released???
