Aspergum is no longer manufactured, but there must be some places that might still have stock.
ran a search for aspergum since I could not find it in a local store. Can not believe this fabulous--one-of-a-kind product was disontinued. Phooy!
I don't take many meds, but I always used aspergum for any sore throats. If it persisted I'd do more. People have to use SOME common sense and know when to see a doctor. Maybe if it had been advertised more it would have sold more.
Have you guys tried an alternative product called Cepacol? It is also indicated for immediate sore throat relief. The ingredients are different from Aspergum, but perhaps it will do the same job?
Active Ingredients: (in each lozenge):
Benzocaine USP 15mg (Oral Anesthetic) + Menthol 3.6 mg (Oral Anesthetic)
Cherry, Honey Lemon, or Mixed Berry ...
Good luck to you all!
I just found out this morning when I called my local Walgreens & CVS that Aspergum cannot be ordered and is in fact not being made anylonger. I am so upset about this!! I have used it since I was a child and my mother, who is 90 has always depended on it for scratchy throat. I can't believe it!! Discontinued & the only thing I know of that really works for sore throat! I dread telling my mother who is patiently waiting for me to order it! Unbelievable!
man this sux BIG TIME. I too have been trying to ge it for several yrs. My Longs stores quit stocking it BUT they always ordered it for me. NOW? How could they do this? Makes me sick. I am so so mad. ALL WE CAN DO IS CALL THE # which was posted here somewhere. (the company that made it) I think I will call them. I WONDER if any canadian places can get it????
I cant blieve we cant buy it anywhere/ i have 1 piece left and chewing it now> why why
I have put aspirin in a plastic bag, pounded it with a hammer, and then mixed it in warm water to make a gargle. Obviously, aspirin made without a hard coating worked better for the gargle. And it also would work faster for the heart attack application now recommended by doctors. Are certain brands still being made without a coating? pills made without a coating
Aspergum is the only thing that got rid of my sore throat, EVER!
Bring it back please!
I just sent my mother on a quest for Aspergum for my sore throat. I simply can't believe it's gone - I have just ONE peice left! Actually I do believe it - more and more good things are no longer manufactured (Farberware electric frying pan is at the top of my list of best-things-I-can't-find) and other products are produced in endless moronic varieties that push the basics off the shelves of even the largest megastore mazes. Shopping has become such a drag nowadays. What a country! Such fine minds making such smart decisions.
I agree with all the comments here. I can't believe its no longer available. It worked wonders when I had a sore throat!!! Wish it could be brought back.
I just can't believe they would stop making an awesome product! This was always a must have in my household because you take one or two and then boom...sore throat was over and it didn't get worse. Now I suffer with horrible sore throats that last for days and days and to no relief! I want ASPERGUM back! At least it was a product that did the job unlike other stuff out there that doesn't!
great product, I saw it disappearing off the shelves a few years ago, but still could find it. I have had a sore throat now for almost ten days, with aspergum it never lasted more than 2 or 3. In the past I have chewed a piece of gum mixed with a bc or goodies powder, and it provided some relief, havent tried that on this sickmess yet, It worked yoo well probably and the profit margin wasnt enough, thats usually why a good product is discontinued
Tawny, did you ever get your Aspergum from Canadianpharmacy choice? Please let us all know!
Now is not a good time to be finding out that Aspergum is off the market! With the incidence of Flu hitting hard and increasing Aspergum was the perfect product to get aspirin quickly absorbed into the system without upsetting the stomach. At times, it has been the ONLY pain reducer that has worked. I knew I was desperate because I am not a fan of gum at all. But we all make exceptions when we find something that works. Please PLEASE bring it back! Flu season is here with 'attitude;' we need our relief.
It is was couple of days ago, probably May 26 or 27, on one of the morning Fox News shows where an older doctor gives medical news and advise and it is discussed. Good info! I don't know his name, but they call him Doc---Very interesting and informative doctor...He told about some new info about taking aspirin if anyone is having chest pains that might be a heart attack. He said that the new info is that chewing a piece of Aspergum got the medication into the blood stream more rapidly than an aspirin tablet. And no side effects... Makes sense to us....so we went to get some today...and could not find any. (Aspergum was a must in our house when I was growing up for when canker sores hurt or we had a sore throat or an injury in our mouth! As kids, we weren't given aspirin, but we WERE given Aspergum--and only for those reasons! And my kids were given it the seldom times it was the perfect medication for those reasons. -- The aspirin in the Aspergum would not be sitting in the stomach and apt to cause someone problems who has a bleeding problem from aspirin if it was used for what are signs of a heart attack. What goes??????
It always worked. Maybe that's why it was discontinued. My mom has a sore throat now and the Cloriseptic drops only work for a while.
My elderly Mom has coughing spasms. We have tried w/out success to find Aspergum to give her some relief. We can't find it anywhere either. It sure worked! Was around since I was little. Why did they stop making it ?????
I emailed the pharmacy in Canada asking for more info on aspergum - to see if it was really the same stuff. The email was returned - no such email account! Go figure!
When all else fails, just chew some childrens chewable flavored aspirin. It worked great on my last sore throat!!!!! I figure there is more than one way to skin a cat!
Heritage was the manufacturer of aspergum. As of 2006 it is no longer being made due to drop in demand/sales.
They apparently did send the Aspergum. It had a confirmation number showing that it was delivered but I never got it. Why?
I guess it was stolen out of my mailbox. The Post Office said that was happening in my area lately.
Go figure.
