Bronkaid Tablet Availability (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

Are we sure that bronkaid tablets haven't been taken off the market in some areas? I went to 3 different drug stores today, in Columbus County, North Carolina, to purchase, and there was an empty shelf where they once were. Not even the pharmacists could say whether they had been discontinued.

REPORT

The reason Bronkaid was taken off the market was because some wording in the instructions/cautions was not going to meet new government standards. The company removed the product until the wording could be changed. Not an easy task - complying with government mandates! According to their website, they hope to be back around the end of March 2013

I have Been Takeing Bronkaid since it first Came out Before then Primatine was the only asthma medicine over the counter also the first inhaler I found Bronkaid to be much better Product However I am totally disappointed with Bayer for there lack of Care for there customers I rely on there Product and now it seems they are unreliable Primatine has never Been Pulled so I think its a Bunch of Bull that Bronkaid cannot get there act together I myself cannot afford a hospital visit becase Bayer wants to Play games with peoples Lives so I would suggest everyone to Look for a better option even if they have to start manufacturing it Legally and Give Bayer some competition so they are not so cocky with the way they treat People as I said Bronkaid is the only one I have seen pulled in the 30 plus years i have been taking it no other company seems to have this problem Primatine is a crappy Product maybe if they were influence to better their product then Bayer would have competition so Primatine its time to step up and give us a product that people will like better than Bronkaid from Bayer or someone else step up and make a product better than Bronkaid, Primatine does not realize when you cannot breath you need a pill to be accessible without using a chainsaw to open the packages to get the pills out then coat the product so it doesn't taste like poison and perhaps put two pills in one bubble pack so you don't have to get them out after a half hour of cutting your fingers opening the package is there no person or company that can do a better job than Bayer or Primatine Born with asthma dont need any more hassles

Findlay, Ohio.

I posted another response but it said it needed further review so that should be posted by tommorow I would think. Call your local walmart to see if they have it in stock and if not ask them if they can check other walmarts within your state, etc.

Hi,

I am from Findlay, Ohio.

You would need to call your local walmarts to find out as their website info on bronkaid is outdated on what stores have it in stock.

I am guessing most Walmarts should be getting it in stock soon if they don't already.

Some of the Meijers stores use to carry bronkaid too but not sure if they have it back in stock yet or not and their may be other stores that sell it also so you have to check around and call places to find out.

I emailed Bayer a couple times and the latest reply was that the stores should be stocked by the end of February, I just happen to be at the Walmart here today and checked and found out they had it back in stock.

hope this helps you out some, best thing is to call your local walmart and check and if they don't have it they may be able to check other stores within a certain distance from you.

HI,

Just a note to let everyone know that Bronkaid is back on the shelves at some Walmart stores now. Its best to call your local store or go in person to check as their website does not give current info on if the item is in stock or not, I am not sure how often they update their website but I have found the info on Bronkaid at different stores to be outdated during the recent recall. Hopefully it will be in all stores soon if not already. Its best first to call your local store and find out.

Found some listed on ebay but they are asking 10 times the regular price for bronkaid. Its better just to wait till its back on the shelves at walmart and other stores that carry it. hopefully within a few weeks or less.

I suppose I'll have to stop breathing for a few months here, maybe in the meantime I can kick the habit totally.

HI Marty,

Bronkaid is suppose to be back on Walmart Pharmacy shelves by the end of February. Long wait but I wanted to let you know incase you did not read the other postings here.

I had contacted Bayer last month and they said it is still in production but with the recall they had for packaging problems it would be a while before all the stores in the United States are stocked up again. They estimate the end of February and all the Walmarts and other stores that carried it will be stocked up.

HI,

Thanks for the info. That is still a long wait. I don't understand why Bayer did not just put the current bronkaid they were making in the new packaging to keep the stores stocked while they redid the one they recalled? Does not make any sense.

Yes Primatine can help but not as effective as Bronkaid is. I suggest to everyone once Bronkaid is back on the shelves to buy a couple boxes at a time and keep some back just incase in the future this happens again. Here in Ohio you can buy two boxes at a time at Walmart.

Meijers Stores here in Ohio and Michigan use to carry it but not sure if they will have it back once its back on the shelves. Seems that Walmart is the main place that did carry it and will have it back in stock in February as you stated.

Per Bayer: They should be fully restocked by the end of February 2013. Too long of a wait if you ask me. I depend on this daily, and I am stuck taking Primatine in the mean time. I prefer Bronkaid. If anyone gets a better update or finds them in their pharmacies again, please inform! Thanks.

Did a search on line at Walmart and said my local Walmart had Bronkaid only to call the Pharmacy who said this product has been discontinued. I'm up the creek without a paddle also at this time that is the only thing that has worked for me.

hi, I contacted Bayer a couple of weeks ago and the only thing they told me that it was recalled for the packaging problem they had with not all the warnings printed on the packaging so it was recalled to get repackaged. It is a good enough selling product that you would think they would send out new product now instead of making everyone wait for them to repackage the old product? does not make any sense, a lot of people have taken this medicine for many years and depend on it to help their breathing problems.

In my area they, were recalled due to pkg. error they said, When I looked it up on line. So maybe they will be back in a few months.

This is the second time within a year that Bayer has taken Bronkaid off the shelves. They should not take a product off the shelf that millions of people dependo on to thelp their breathing difficulties. I was at Walmart the other day and ask them if they knew when it would be back in stock and they did not have any idea. Several months is a heck of a long time for a medicine to be kept off of the shelf. Bronakaid has been a great seller for Bayer for over 30 years and there is no reason it is taking them this long for the new packaging, Can't they just keep producing the product and put it in the new packages instead of taking apart all of the old packages first and repackaging that product?? Does not make any sense at all on what and how they are doing this.Come on Bayer, lets speed up the process, your customers are waiting on you.

Actually - there was a recall Dec 2012 for Bronkaid due to mis-labeling of the blister packets they come in. Should be back on the shelves in a few months.

Hi,

I contacted Bayer the other day and their response was that the product was recalled because of some printing missing on some of the packaging regarding medication warnings, etc. They said they are working as fast as possible to get the new package product back on store shelves as soon as possible. They did not give me any time frame. If you check the Walmart site and search for Bronkaid it will allow you to do a search for any stores in your area that have any Bronkaid in stock. I am not sure if all the Walmart stores returned their product they already had in stock or not as it was a voluntary recall by Bayer and not sure if the main Walmart made all the stores comply or not. You can always contact your local Walmart and ask them if they know when the product will be back on their shelves. Not sure what other stores carry Bronkaid but I am sure other pharmacy stores may carry it when its back in stock. Just ask around to see.

I have borderline narcolepsy and need Bronkaid to keep me awake, especially when Im driving. Had 3 accidents until this was discovered. The medication for narcolepsy is $300 buck w/insurance. Now what??

Bayer had a voluntary recall on Dec 2012 on bronkaid because of certain wording or warning that was left off of the back of some packaging for Bronkaid. Walmart was part of the recall and it will be back on store shelves at the pharmacy but Walmart could not tell me when. Guessing Bayer is going to repackage all the returned product and then send it back out to the stores. I contacted Bayer and when I hear from them I will update this with any other info. If you do a seach on internet you will find a site with more info on the recall and lot numbers, etc.

Hi,

No I have not found any online that is affordable. Amazon had some listed and also Ebay but both places were super high priced because of the current packaging problem making it almost impossible to find as all the stores have pulled it off the shelves for the packaging recall. Walmart did not have any timeframe on when it would be back on the store shelves there. The Mr Medical company does not have their website anymore, they sell on Amazon now but no bronkaid listed in their products. Primatine is the only alternative to take till bronkaid gets back on store shelves. If I find any info from Bayer I will update you. Thank you.
