REPORT

Pure original Talwin, (Pentazocine Hydrochloride) in the tablet form, usually of 50 mg. dose, was manufactured in the following countries, in 2009, (Source: Martindale, the Extra Pharmacopoeia, published since 1883, from the 36th edition, published by Pharmaceutical Press, of London, UK, (the publishing organization of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain) ISBN 978-0-85369-840-1) on data accurate and verified, in October of 2008, in forty (40) countries of the modern industrialized world, a 2 volume set of over 3,000 pages of data.
1. Canada as "Talwin P" tablets of 50 mg. pure pentazocine HCI, by Sanofi Syntholabo, 15 Allstate Parkway, Markham, Ontario, L3R5B4, Canada. url:
sanofisyntholabo.com
2. Great Britain as Fortral brand name, by Sanofi Syntholabo a/k/a Sanofi-Aventis Ltd., Onslow St., Guilford, Surrey, GUI 4YS UK url: sanofi-aventis.com I do not have the immediate references, but it was available, 3 yrs ago, by also a generic firm, out of the UK, but not on the traditional formulary (NHS)
3. The Netherlands, as "Fortral" by again, Sanofi Syntholabo, Govert Van Wijnkade 48, 3144 EG, Maassluis, Netherlands, url: sanofi-syntholabo.nl
4. Austria, my resources does not distinguish, "pentazocine lactate" the liquid form for IV or IM injection, or "pentazocine hydrochloride tablets" for Austria. The manufacturer in Austria again is Sanofi
Syntholabo, GmbH, Koppstrasse 116. A-1160 Vienna, Austria url: sanofi-syntholabo.at
5. Cz Republic as "Fortral" 50 mg tablets, by KrKa, Cz,
Krka Slovenia, Mezbranska7, 11000 Prague, 1 Czech Republic.
6. Germany, manufactured as "Fortral" tablets 50 mg size again, by Sanofi Syntholabo Gmbh. Potsdamer Str 8, 10785 Berlin, Germany url: sanofi-syntholabo.de
7. Greece, manufactured by "IFET" as "Fortal" in tablets, Iinstitute of Pharmaceutical Research & Technology S.A., 18th KM of Marathonos Ave. 154 44
Pallini, Greece url: ifet.gr
8. South Africa, my resources do not distinguish, if Adcock Ingram manufacture "pentazocine" in liquid or tablet form, as "Sosenol", I assume in either the 25 mg tablet, or the 50 mg tablet. "Ospronim" manufactured by
Intramed of South Africa, is only manufactured as Pentazocine Lactate, the liquid version, for Injection, supplied in vials, or ampules.
9. Spain, mfg by Sanofi-Aventis, is offered in 25 mg tablet form of pure pentazocine hydrochloride. "Aventis Pharma" Martinez Villergas 52, 28027 Madrid, Spain.

From 1999, until, 2009, in only ten yrs, I have seen
Pentazocine tablets or Pentazocine Injection (vials or ampules) withdrawn, from 21 countries in the "Martindale : The Extra Pharmacopoeia, now, called "The Complete Drug Reference" reduced to only 9 countries, from the forty countries, represented, in this expensive (now) two part book, published, since, 35th edition, (2007) every other year. I do not have the current 2011 Martindale set of books, with data, verified, thru approximately October, of 2010. The retail price is about $695.00 US. "Hostile countries, and third world countries are excluded, from the Martindale, with a swath of countries in the Middle East, and every country in Africa, (one exception, South Africa), and, about 50% of Latin America.......
Central America, and South America excluded.
I used to travel extensively, but have cut back radically, but, I know for a fact, that as recently as, last spring, of 2011, KrKa, marketed, their 50mg excellent,
purity, pentazocine, in Poland, and, Russia, in addition, to Slovenia, in 50 mg white round tablets. I also know that as recently, as, June of 2010, Pentazocine HCi, in 25 mg tablet form, was, manufactured, by Searle Paksitan Ltd, F-319, S.I.T.E. Karachi Pakistan, under
license, of Sanofi Winthrop Industrie, France, in small, white tablets, and, I had a GS/MS chemist do a expensive chemical analysis of this Pakistan product, and it was ruled positive, in June 2010, as pure tablet
Pentazocine (as Hydrochloride) in the 25 mg tablets.

The 3rd United Nations int'l Drug Control Programme
and the World Health Organization in 2003, met for the third time,since, the 1970's, in Vienna, Austria, and, strongly encouraged, world nations, represented at that conference, to place, "tighter controls" on the manufacture of Pentazocine, and on, Propoxyphene.
(USA Darvon, Doloxene), and, the latter, USA and EU
Propoxyphene, has been withdrawn radically, if not nearly extinguished, from the modern westernized world. I fear the same fate, with the outstanding, excellent, "pentazocine" that I have experience using, since Winthrop in the USA marketed the original formula, from 1967, until, 1982.

Finally, according to REDBOOK, 113th edition, "pharmacy's fundamental reference" yr 2009,
page 649, "Pentazocine, in either Lactate, or HCI (tabs), could only be ordered, with the addition of the medication "Naloxone", thus, I doubt, a compounding pharmacist, in the USA, can obtain, the pure Pentazocine powder, anymore. ISBN#9 781563 637063. Watson Laboratories, Inc of Corona Calif, mfg the tablets, in 2007, with the addition of Naloxone HCI, in 2007, page 3385, of the 2007 Physicians Desk Reference. The unpopular USA version, was apparently removed from the marketplace, by the generic mfg, during the 2007 to 2009 time frame. (citation needed), by Watson. Talwin NX I last saw in the USA PDR by Sanofi-Synthelabo, Inc. in a oblong, yellow, scored tablet, embossed, T51 scored. (yr 2002) I never adjusted to the Talwin NX IMHO, always preferred greatly, the original pure formula of the tablet.

It appears that the regular Talwin, which just contains the Pentazocine, without any other ingredients has been discontinued.

The formulation that is now available contains Pentazocine and Naloxone, it's called Talwin NX and is made by Sanofi.

There is also a formulation available that contains Aspirin with the Pentazocine.

Have you tried asking your pharmacy what they can order in for you?

I guess my question should have been , is Talwin still being produced, and if so what company/ companies produce it. My husband had been taking it for 25yrs then was told it wasn't available anymore. There is no other med that he responds to as good as he responded to Talwin.

I'm sorry, but we have no way of knowing what pharmacy has any given medication in stock, at any given time. That information can be very dynamic and would be difficult to keep track of, anyway.

Have you tried checking with your various local pharmacies to see where you can get it filled?
