Visine Lr Discontinued? (Page 49) (Top voted first)

Having problems finding this product. Has it been discontinued and if so, do you know why?

REPORT

Followup-

I tried both Zoamet and Allergex and found both to be comparable to Visine LR. The Zoamet I bought was about the same price ($30+) but contained only 5ml vs. 15 ml. for the Allergex.

I am holding off on opening the Oligin bottle until later.

Where did you purchase Zoamet and Oligin? Another user mentioned Allergex wasn't as good, so I think I will order those two to start. Thanks.

Greg,

You can find about 4 different brands online. Just search under Visine LR and they all pop up. Other countries must know eye drops with oxymetazoline is in high demand for people in US and Canada since Visine stopped producing it. Use a pre-paid credit card or paypal for payment to protect against fraud; although I didn't have an issue. Good luck.

Prefrin by Allergan was recommended to me. It does not contain the main ingredient found in Visine LR, Zoamet, etc. It was not as effective, but could possibly help as a back-up.

$90 is not cheap! $300 is a bit foolish. No? Especially when there are 3 eye products (not expired) that can be purchased for about $35 each with the same main ingredient as Visine LR.

Bobby paid $300 for an expired bottled of LR? He's not a cheapskate, I'd call him a sucker. LOL. What a fool when you can buy Allergen or Allergex with Oxymetazoline for about $19 a bottle. Obviously he's a newbie to this thread.

I agree CENDO is the best answer now but it's only 5ml.

Any advise on how to find it at a reasonable price? Seems it's very inexpensive in its home country- Indonesia

I found Cendo to be no better than Allergex. Also, as stated before, 5ml vs. 15ml.

Where exactly are you able to still buy LR visine? And do you know why they discontinued it?

My bottle of Oxylin says "do NOT use after 30 days of opening."

Will it harm my eyes if I use it after 30 days?

The expiration date is still 6 months away at July 2017

Also, which is better: Allergex , Cendo, or B&L Max Redness Relief?

Hi Todd!

I'm hoping I bought the wrong formula, but why call the eye drops I just bought "Advanced Eye Relief" just like the other one I've been using all this time? And that one is still missing from the Walmarts in my area. Are there 2 different formulas of Advanced Eye Relief eye drops by B & L?

I sure hope you're right, but this could also be the start of them "phasing out" the "Advanced Eye Relief / Maximum Redness Relief" formula and going to the new one. Stores then start selling out the last bottles they have, and then Ebay carries the very last ones for a high price.

I'll look again when I go to Walmart on Thursday. Surely by then, the shelves for the stronger Advanced Eye Relief should not be empty.

I went to Walmart this morning and found the shelf restocked with B+L Advanced Maximum Redness eye drops, so I bought a double pack. I should have returned the other ones.

Lisa,

Just go to the B+L official home page like Todd advised me. On the l/h side of the page, click "our products" and go from there. You'll see their different eye drops. You want the one that says "Maximum Redness" on the front.

Now mind you, when I say these are some of the best eye drops out there right now, I don't mean on the same level as Visine LR... at least, not for me. Visine LR was better because it contained oxymetazoline, plain an simple. It also made my eyes very bright. I miss them so. :-)

However, these B+L eye drops will suffice. They contain a lubricant that is somewhat soothing and at least you know they are safe. Many people here are mixing their own solutions, but I didn't want to go that route.

Purchased Oxylin 8 months ago. Usage: 2/days - no problem.

Lorena, I've been using Oxylin for 8 months. I use 2 drops per day. No problems at all.
Avoid bottle tip contact to the eyes or lids and you should not have a problem. They cut down preservatives so that's why they recommend do not use after 30 days of opening.

Which 4? I like Allergex & Cendo Asthenhof the best, as their effect is long lasting -6 hours or more; but they are difficult to buy. Visine A and B & L Redness reliever are easy to purchase on the internet but their effect lasts for just an hour or 2.

Hi Dave, I have not tried Oxylin. Is it worth trying? & as for Zoamet - I found it a bit harsh.

Regarding Cendo Asthenhof - Where do you buy it from? Cos I found some places to be horribly expensive. I once managed to get it through a friend who had some contacts in Indonesia. & we are going to visit Bali at the end of this month for a holiday and I am gonna see if it's possible to establish regular contact for getting Cendo directly from Indonesia because it seems to be very inexpensive (as per information on the internet) in Indonesia. Though it's hard to be sure because most of the sites are not in English.

Dear Mark, yes Allergex seems to be the best in terms of the product, size & price. I use Allergex when better & longer results are required, combined with BL Redness reliever when one can manage without the widest eye look - these also soothe my eyes quite nicely!

Hi all ,
Re :- CENDO

I am in Bali, Indonesia where CENDO ASTHENHOF is manufactured. I went to a good pharmacy close to the Hotel & asked for CENDO.

Important :- the bottles are only 5ml, just as well cause they MUST BE used within ONE MONTH of opening the bottle; one month after opening they really don't work well.

They aren't sold online because :- they are not exactly OTC eye-drops. They need to see the person they are dispensing it to. They are manufactured with a 3 year validity/ expiry date (so the bottles I purchased are valid till June 2020.) They cost a little over USD 2 per bottle in a pharmacy.

I did the only thing I could think of, ie, buy a large quantity (they offered a 3% discount). Hope this info helps in some way!

Re: Mark (# 980)

I have never tried Oxylin.... just once a day is fantastic, even VISINE LR worked for 6 to 8 hours. But then maybe it varies from person to person. Maybe I should try them... hope they aren't horribly expensive!
