Drixoral Substitute (Page 3) (Top voted first)

Updated

Great news! I have FINALLY found the substitute for Drixoral Cold & Allergy and wish someone had told me before I had to suffer with allergy symptoms for so long. It's a combination of one Mucinex DM tablet and one Aleve-D Sinus & Cold tablet; take one of each at the same time and within an hour you'll feel like a brand new person! Mucinex DM is an OTC expectorant and cough supressant and Aleve-D (an extended release medicine) can be found behind the counter (you have to ask for it and show ID), but I found both at Walmart. I know the name brands cost more, but do not bother buying substitutions because they simply will not work; since Drixoral has not been available, I already have tried soooooo many that didn't help at all. Good Luck and I hope this works as well for you as it did for me.

Quick question... I love Drixoral because it is the only thing that works, but it always knocked me out for the count. Take one pill and I am out for the night. Does this combination have the same effect?

Thanks you for your very informative post! We have had many people trying to find some substitute for Drixoral, since it is no longer being made.

I am hoping that the combination you found will also work for others in need of some relief.

More info on the stated medications:

The only issue that I can see with this is that they both contain Pseudoephedrine and this may be too much for some people. They could suffer nervousness, elevated heart rate, elevated blood pressure and insomnia.

You can also find drixoral from Canadian Rx and have it sent to your home.

The best allergy pill ever was a prescription called Bromfed. Drixoral not bad either. Now they are both gone. I think the FDA had something to do with this insanity. The drug companies blame the FDA and the FDA says it was financial decision by the pharmaceuticals. Anyone out there know the true story? I now take one Zyrtec Allergy and one Safeway brand "Sinus + Allergy PE" that contains Chlorpheniramine and Phenylephrine HCI. Still not as good as what I used to take but you may want to try if you are suffering.

Well an update on my Drixoral crisis! Someone on medschat suggested I try Amazon/CA, that there were two left in stock, so I did, and bought the final two, between shipping etc it cost 80 bucks, but worth it. Then lo & behold relatives from CA came for a visit to see parents and called with 4 more boxes from a local drug store! On sale! at 11.88 a box uggh!!! So I have 6 boxes now that will probably last me a lifetime as I am older and only take them when I seriously need it. So keep on trying, try Amazon/Ca or a relative if your lucky enough : ) Sure wish they would bring this back to the states and end the suffering for so many people. Good luck!

Drixoral/Disphoral contain the same ingredients. The delay in receiving it is due to Customs.

I am very unhappy. The Canadian company I have bought my Drixoral from for years no longer carries Drixoral. I did find it at another Canadian company but they cannot ship it to the US. Why??????? There are ways around this, but what a pain! Nothing else works for me, and with a pollen count today (in Metro Atlanta) of 4161, and only one box left, I am getting very nervous.

genius...Mucinex is guaifenesin & Aleve D Sinus & Cold is naproxen & pseudoephedrine...expectorant, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory & decongestant. Drixoral is dexbrompheniramine & pseudoephedrine. The only common ingredient is the pseudoephedrine. You're feeling better coz you're higher than a kite.

Drixoral is great stuff. I used it regularly but my MD told me to stop because I have high blood pressure and Drixoral contributes to it. It's difficult to get because it contains the ingredient pseudoephedrine, which can be used to manufacture methamphetamine. So at least in the northeast US you have to present a picture ID and sign a form to purchase any meds with pseudoephedrine. Too bad it's not a gun.

HOWEVER, I go to Canada frequently and you can pick it up in supermarkets, pharmacies, anywhere. (Not for me...my wife uses it on occasion.) So if it's not shipped from Canada, it's because of the regs.
