In June 2020, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) reported that the availability of phenelzine was discontinued in Australia due to global issues with the manufacture of the active pharmaceutical ingredient. However, unapproved phenelzine products may be accessed through alternative pathways, such as the Special Access Scheme (SAS) administered by the TGA. In October 2020, The TGA authorized two sponsors to supply an overseas-registered brand of phenelzine in Australia. In May 2020, the Specialist Pharmacy Service in the UK reported the unavailability of phenelzine from the sole supplier. In July 2020, supplies of unlicensed phenelzine 15mg capsule specials became available for UK patients. In February 2021, Phenelzine again became available in Australia as a subsidized medication through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
