Aspergum - Where To Buy (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

Aspergum is no longer manufactured, but there must be some places that might still have stock.

Make your own aspergum. Here's what I have been doing since I've been unable to buy Aspergum. Purchase a bottle of buffered aspirin (keep your stomach happy). Put it in a shallow bowl and use the bottom of a spoon to grind up into a powder. Buy gum of your choice (I use wringley's or Extra spearomint - great at concealing taste of the aspirin.) Optionally use chewable aspirin.
Wash hands - duh!
Unwrap the gum, and wet it slightly. Dip gum in the powdered aspirin till it is completely coated. Fold the gum stick over & over & try to mix the aspirin into the gum. Chew immediately or let it dry out and then wrap it in wax paper or plastic wrap or just put in a ziploc bag (be sure it is completely dry before wrapping it in anything. Moldy anything probably isn't going to help your throat.)

I used to be a big believer in aspergum but now that its gone I found that flavored chewable aspirin work just as well, I hope this helps to all of you

I want my ASPERGUM! THIS IS THE WORST SORE THROAT I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I SENT MY 80 YEAR OLD MOTHER OUT TO LOOK FOR IT, AND THE STORES SEARCHED AND SEARCHED SO EVIDENTLY THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT THEY DON'T CARRY THE PRODUCT ANYMORE! CEPACOL DOES NOT WORK, COUGH DROPS DO NOT WORK, THOSE SPRAYS DO NOT WORK! I WANT MY ASPERGUM BACK!

Here it is YEARS later and I continue to search for ASPERGUM! It's truly amazing and it worked. I firmly believe that the pharmaceutical company that produced Aspergum didn't gain enough profit (money!) from this remarkable product ... not giving a second thought to those people who benefited from it's availability. So they dumped it. If sales were down on Aspergum perhaps a reintroduction to the public would have been far more appropriate and public-minded besides being profitable. It's always about money ... the manufacturers are outright stupid! Where's the profit now!

I had a very sore throat this morning when I woke up; I could barely swallow. In desperation, I dug through my medicine chest and found the last box of Aspergum I bought years ago with five pieces left. Chewed one and had the same amazing results I have always had with this product. I was able to swallow, drink, eat--none of which would have been possible with any other sore throat relief product.

Someone ought to start a Facebook page to encourage Insight Pharmaceuticals to bring back Aspergum!

I just tried your suggestion! Anything for relief for my ulcerated throat! (my lozenges burn and Aspergum was my old standby for this kind of sore throat!)

I have used Asper Gum for over 50 years, & always had success when I had a sore throat. Now that I need some, I'm told it has been discontinued. I say "Why not change your minds & make it again?? since the younger generation have No Clue of this product. At least continue for us Seniors Sake!!! Make less product.

I use to get Aspergum when I had sore throat, it worked well. I want it back.

The reason they discontinued it was a possible irritaion to the eshopogas in people's throats .

Apparently a lack of sufficient sales is why they stopped making it. A substitute it to take a piece of regular gum and chew it up with an aspirin in it. It's not quite a good as Aspergum, but better than nothing.

I have an old box and the manufacturer is Schering-Plough HealthCare Products, Inc. but I couldn't find any information using that name about where to now buy Aspergum.

Let's get the word out there !! If we can have one million people call Insight Pharmaceuticals or e-mail,they have assured me that they will once again manufacture Aspergum. Let's network together and achieve what may seem like " Mission Impossibe " . Together we can do this !!!!

Booo Hisssss to Insight Pharmaceutical!!! After looking for Aspergum in the stores I came home and checked on the internet. To my horror it is not being produced anymore. Apparently lots of others feel the same way as I . . . .perhaps we should mention this need to other companies and let them make some money. If they do make it, trust me, I will stock up BIG TIME on it!!!! For every person who posted how many people are there that miss the product also, but do not have access to a computer???

After I found out I couldn't get Aspergum anymore, I
asked my pharmacist if I could just make my own. He
said I could. He suggested I use 1/2 aspirin (the old
type without coating) grind it between two spoons and
then work a piece of gum into it. You would have to
chew the gum first. It may not be the most convenient
thing, but it is better than nothing and there is no
reason why it wouldn't work. I am certainly going to
make my own.

looks like it was the promptings of some airhead parent who's kid ate the stuff thinking it was chewing gum, and "OD'd" on it. maybe that will end that particular gene pool.

Does Cepacol come in gum form? Also, how about all of us signing a petition and requesting this product from another
drug company?

I totally disagree with them being discontinued. I used both drixoral & asprgum & yes, aspergum was AWESOME 4 sore throats. They both worked great! Sure wish they'd bring them both back & now.

Maybe it's not too late. With the increased interest in heart health the manufacturer needs better advertising. I could see this product bouncing back as the newest aid to heart health if they only had a brain. Some foreign company maybe in India or China will buy the formula and bring it back with a bang. I want stock in that company.
