How to process Fenelzine in capsules?

How can we best make Fenelzine capsules following the lack of the specialty Nardelzine?

Answer

Due to the lack of specialty, it is possible to make a magical alternative with the raw material phenelzine sulphate. This is available at the FSA range (& most wholesalers). Please pay attention when preparing these capsules:
- 1 mg of phenelzine = 1.72 mg of phenelzine sulphate
-> 15 mg of phenelzine = 25.8 mg of phenelzine sulphate.
- the preparation must be made with Mannitol.
- According to the pharmacopoeia, the raw material must not be stored in the refrigerator and, consequently, this can also be extended to the preparation in the absence of data.
