A friend of mine from an Eastern Europian country has run out of a drug essential for his threrapy. I'am looking for any information on a drug called CARNETIN. Suposedly produced by company 'California Fitness'. I've looked in Canada and US, but pharmacists' response was "carnetin #@@%&*@@". Anything will help: -availbility, where.. - other products... Dear Rale, From your article it' not trivial to find out which is the active molecule in "CARNETIN". If, as I suspect, it's carnitine then... In Italy it is produced by SIGMA-TAU Pharmaceutical Industries S.p.A. with the commercial name CARNITENE. Regarding USA, I think that you can contact the america office: SIGMA-TAU Pharmaceuticals, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20878 USA. In case, for any scientific questions and/or informations concerning carnitine, acetyl-carnitine, you can contact me at aureli@conti3.sci.uniroma1.it I hope to be helpful Tommaso Tommaso Aureli Dept. of Chemistry University "La Sapienza" P.le Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Roma (ITALY) .
