I knew you'd be the first to answer! thanx!
Well,I'm in Austria now,and I asked for pheno,but the pharmacist told me is not available and gave me primodine 250mg,so I wanted to know how much phen is inside primodine,like e.g. 250mg = 30mg phen?Unfortunatly I have to leave my PC now,but I'll be back soon....Thank you so much,and awaiting for your opinion about this issue and other questions I have raised in other threads....
Best regards,
Adam.
