Hi there. I am looking for opinions of people who were taking INDERAL LA but who had to switch to some other medication since INDERAL LA is no longer sold here in the UK.
I was taking INDERAL LA for 3 years, it truly worked for me very well, I slowly started feeling cured from my constant anxieties and worries which I acquired as a PTSD patient, but then I switched for other meds for the above reason of drug discontinuation.
I found the other meds not equivalent (although on the same dose), so I digged deeper (follow the money), and I researched that there can be noticeable difference in the drug quality of apparently equivalent drugs.
On one side, there was this INDERAL LA by AstraZeneca, working truly for the whole day, and was noticeable even if I took just one 160mg pill in the morning, and then there was the BEDRANOL SR by Sandoz, whom I felt working perhaps for 3-5 hours in my system, and my anxietes and worries started returning and kicking back in unfortunately.
I read several Wikipedia articles, several clever books and production prospectus of pharmaceutical companies which are available on the internet, and inevitably there is evidence that the BEDRANOL SR is far from equivalent not only in practice (each person can have different experience with this) but also in law because the production technology of this other drug is from the 50s.
Inderal LA used the most modern production technologies, using nanotechnology and layering, whereby Bedranol SR is not relaying on anything such.
Although the national regulator, the MHRA, approved Bedranol SR as apparently equivalent (they can only rely on what is laid to them in the process of authorization), Bedranol cannot be equivalent, it cannot have the same therapeutic effect, and I find this to be a SCAM on the UK patients.
My personal explanation for this is that the CEOs of these Big Pharma businesses (there are perhaps 15 of them in the UK) make their own deals behind the curtains. Let's suggest that Sandoz has momentarily a surplus stock of their Bedranol SR, so they need to sell it... However, over the years the GPs stopped prescribing the Bedranol SR for the very simple reason that it does not work (it cannot work so no wonder). Sandoz then accrued a large stock of unsold medicines, so they made a shady deal with AstraZeneca that AstraZeneca would stop selling their drug (for a year or two) and Sandoz would sell the leftover stock. Makes sense, doesnt' it!? :D In return, Sandoz would perhaps momentarily drop production of another drug in their portfolio where AstraZeneca is not selling well. Deal done, day over, simple as. The UK patient will never notice this as this is a massive taboo.

I would be very interesting in your thoughts and experiences. :shades:
