Midrin Where Can I Get It (Page 4)
Updated
Dawn Says:
I have been taking Midrin for the past 10 years for migraines because I don't get any side effects from it and it works really well. Now all of a sudden the pharmacies in my area (3 of them) are saying that they can't get any or it is on backorders for the past 3 months. Do they still make it? I tried a different medication and it makes me really dissy so I really need to know how to get the Midrin. How can I get a presecription filled and where even in the mail would be ok.

Health and Wellness Compounding Pharmacy in Nashville, TN has been making it for me for months now. They're great to work with and accept all manner of insurance. Look them up if you're having trouble elsewhere.

My neurologist just Rx'd Midrin for me today (7/9/13) and my pharmacy (CVS) called to tell me that they have to order it but it will be ready for me tomorrow. I will be getting the generic formula - but am excited that this is available again as both my daughter and I use it.

Apothecary Pharmacies (compounding) makes the Midrin for me. They were using a substitute for the Dichloralphenazone USP, but are now able to also get that drug. However the substitute is a "faster acting" agent, so I have not requested that the Dichloralphenazone USP be used due to the extra cost.

I did get the generic Midrin, and have since had refills too. CVS is where I got it. I don't think it was compounded because they ordered it from their supply warehouse and it came the next day before 2:00pm. I had never used it before and am now in love with it!! LOL

I was actually given Midrin in the hospital about a week or two ago. Then I asked my doctor to precscribe it and she did. My Pharmacy (not a compounding pharmacy) has it!! Ready!! Yes - today I will find out how much it will cost. I know. I'm in shock! I will tell you if there is a catch but this is in USA... And it is the Realy, old fashioned actual Midrin. Prodrin made me so dizzy that I had to crawl, so I had to stop taking it ( although it did get rid of my headache ) I have been depending on Sumatriptan since Midrin has been gone. I'll follow up with whatever happened when I go to the Pharmacy today. Wish me luck!!

I live in Washington, DC and Since midrin was taken off market I have been in misery. Everything else has too many side effects. I've been hearing talk of an equivalent Med. Is it available now in DC, MD OR VA?

Hello. Check with your "compounding" pharmacy's. They can compound it as that is what I am doing with my script for Midrin.

Hello
I recently had my Midrin script written as a "Compound" drug. I was able to get it filled at a Compounding pharmacy and it still works. The difference between Midrin and a compounded midrin is they cannot give it a shelf live of more that 30 days, but (it does last quite long and it works the same.

So my understanding is that Macoven Pharmaceuticals is manufacturing Midrin- so you should be able to get it again. I have used it for over 30 years and love it! It seems much safer then a lot of the drugs out there. I get aura based migraines so once my sight start to go I take one and the headache is pretty much gone-and my sight comes back. You can also find it under the generic Epidrin. It is a very cheap medication and maybe thats why there has been so many manufacturing problems- no big profits in it!

my daughter just got her new rx for Midrin and it went from $5 to appx. $250! Does any one know where she can get this cheaper or help with the prescription price? This is the only thing that has worked for her! coupons, drug programs? She has insurance, but apparently not enough. Please help. Thanks

I started using Midrin in 1983 when i was first diagnosed with migraine headaches. When the triptan family of drugs was released, my doctor prescribed Imitrex (about 1998), but I had a severe reaction to the drug. I was told by my neurologist to avoid all triptans and got a new Midrin rx after specifically requesting it. It is the only medication the fully relieves my migraine symptoms, specifically my sensitivity to light and sound. Over the past four years, I've had monthly episodes of migraine with no relief from either pain or prophylactic meds. Dealing with military docs and not getting to a neurologist, I couldn't get Midrin or any information about it I've been taking muscle relaxers in order to sleep and suffering through headaches that last for 72 hours. Finally, during my last migraine bout, I looked up Midrin online, and I'm thrilled to know why I couldn't find it in the past and to know that it is once again available. I found this post while sitting in my doctor's waiting room. I wanted to be "armed" to make my Midrin request! I look forward to leaving with a new rx and finally relief from the regular headaches that plague me!
