Visine Lr Discontinued? (Page 9)

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

REPLY

REPORT

Just looked on Amazon.com and someone is actually trying to sell Visine L.R. for $55.00. I will live with Red Eyes the rest of my life before I'm that desperate. Frankly, I hope when they pull it out to ship to someone, I hope they find the bottle has evaporated or someone has punctured it. Talk about greedy.

I called J & J again today - same story - the ingredient coming in by way of Belgium and clearing Customs is the reason why this has not returned to the shelves, so they say - but this CSR did say that they may discontinue...not good news at all!! Why not write letters to the CEO of J & J??

Kat, what is the expiration date on the visine workplace you purchased ? I just assume that Canada must have different customs laws on goods since workplace is still being produced and available. But who knows, I have a feeling that our beloved VLR is about to go the way of the Dodo bird.

Well my friends I think the end is near. I was very saddened to see that Canada Pharmacy has doubled the price of visine workplace to 10 dollars (US). To me that can only mean demand is far surpassing supply. Well I guess when we are all out of VLR and Workplace we can all relocate to a place in the desert that we can call Camp Redeye. Am I being a little over dramatic ?

Ok disregard my previous post. I just got off the phone with J&J. The rep told me that they just received word today that the ingredient has been released from customs and VLR should start reappearing on shelves in the next few weeks.I was told that CVS and Wallgreens would be the first to receive it. Now lets see how long it takes.

Jessie, I truly hope what the Visine rep told you is accurate! Forgive me, if I am only cautiously optimistic :(

FDA response to my inquiry was that VLR has their approval and that they had no report of a shortage of VLR! I told them I could refer them to a website where nearly 200 people across the nation cannot find it! No further response from them so far.

Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Christina, no one cam blame any of us for not being optomistic with the run around and half truths we've been told these last few months. I also hope what they told me is true but we will just have to wait and see. It is inetresting that the FDA had no knowledge of the shortage. I will be reaching out to them also.

i thought i was the only one addicted to VLR. i have found a replacement that works great. Walgreens has both/. first i use WAL-ZYR (itch eye drops) that make my eyes feel great. then I use Bausch/Lomb advanced eye relief redness. one drop of each, the latter being about 10 minutes after the wal-zyr. FANTASTIC. eyes feel great and are completely white. thought i'd share with my fellow VLR seekers.

I AM STARTING MY 3RD WEEK WITHOUT THE VLR. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO MISERABLE. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GETTING BETTER, NO IT'S NOT!

Just got off the phone with a Visine rep, and got the same story: The product is made in Belgium and was held up in customs. Distribution began again on Wednesday, May 19th, starting with CVS and Walgreens stores. It has definitely NOT been discontinued, and the rep said he gets many calls from people who all say it works better than any other Visine product. So it looks like we just have to be patient a bit longer. Relief is on the way.
