What the Health Canada label says it is for
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE NARDIL (phenelzine sulfate) is indicated in the treatment of depressed patients clinically characterized as "atypical", "nonendogenous" or "neurotic". These patients often have mixed anxiety and depression and phobic or hypochondriacal features. There is less conclusive evidence of its usefulness for severely depressed patients with endogenous features. NARDIL is indicated for patients who have failed to respond to the drugs more commonly used for these conditions. https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00067659.PDF PM date: not printed or not captured Source product: NARDIL; DIN 00476552; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.
