In reply to Concord Nardil versus Pfzirer's New Formulation, posted by bulldog2 on September 20, 2008, at 13:23:00
> Is the Concord version superior and more like the original formulation of Nardil?
I actually looked into this matter more than two years ago and found that Concord's version of Nardil was different from both the "old" and "new" American versions. Unfortunately, I'm not a chemist, so it would be hard for me to say what type of coating Concord's Nardil has just by looking at the inactive ingredients. Concord's Nardil, like the "new" Pfizer Nardil, does lack the pharmaceutical glaze, carnauba wax, and white wax that the "old" Pfizer Nardil contained, so it may not have an enteric coating like Pfizer's "old" Nardil had. On the other hand, Concord's Nardil does contain talc like the "old" Pfizer Nardil does, and it also lacks some of the ingredients in the "new" Nardil that may be problematic. So, even if it doesn't have an enteric coating like the "old" Pfizer Nardil did, Concord's Nardil may dissolve more slowly in the stomach than the "new" Pfizer does because of its chemical composition. I'm just speculating, though.
Here's a link to a post that I wrote more than two years ago where I listed the inactive ingredients in the various Nardil formulations:

I hope this helps a little.
