I would like to find out about the availability of Drixoral Cold and Allergy pills. They are round little green pills.

Look, we really haven't gotten a real clue why Drixoral has been taken off the market, and it really is unfair. After all we know it is very effective and has worked over many medical substances. When I have been home from the flu, it saved me from missing another day of work etc. The only thing left to do is to consult the government or change our ways or figure out another way to deal with allergies. Does anyone know how I feel? It's the same. We were once told that the company was changing or moving and when this was done, Drixoral would resume. This is an apparent lie. I read previously that a drug called "Daxophed D" was to be released to consumers in Feb 2014, this didn't happen even tho the name of the product was protected under a copyright. Is petitioning for Drixoral a real answer? Let's hear it and I know I'm not going thru the trouble to do that.

I've been using drixoral for years, I too am having a problem finding it here in Canada, Saskatchewan to be exact, I've talked to many pharmacies with no result, no one seems to know why they stopped handling it out where to get it... This really sucks, as it was the only product that worked for me.

Singerita, I am going to try this for sure. It's the Dexbrompheniramine that I need, personally speaking - the antihistamine. That's what i've been looking for, because that's the only thing Drixoral has that the others don't, so it MUST be the thing that makes it work, right? THANK YOU! I'll report back on my progress.

Finally!!! No it's not Drixoral but on terms of ingredients it's contains the same (both ingredients we need: Pseudoephedrine and Dexbrompheniramine). It required a bit of shopping but here it is: Claritin 12 + 10ml of Dimetapp syrup (at once) and I get the exact same effect as Drixoral. I was so sick with allergies in the past week and now I can breathe again and I'm not sneezing anymore! Hurray!

Nothing is as good as Drixoral but what can we do? I've thought about starting a Change.org post, but how to reach all the people who want Drixoral? And is any pharm lab even making it anymore? I just don't understand why a company would stop making a medicine that so many people need and want, just because some drug addicts can make speed of it. There must be something else going on.

Thanks for your reply. I bought Claritin today since it has the pseudophedrine in it and so far in half a day it's been better than others I tried over the past week or so. I will look for Eltor 120. I took that med when i was younger but i can't remember if it worked or nit.

One of the main ingredients that we need seems to be psuedoephedrine ~ do what i did, go to the pharmacy and stand there and read all the labels til you find one that has it. My former contact in Canada says Alt His A is good, so it must be available there. If I find anything else that works, I'll keep posting it here. Good luck! Also, see Champagne Girl's post below, she mentions something in the pharmacys in Canada.

CJ, I'm dying here too (in Canada); I can't find (on the internet or at pharmacy) the substitute you're talking about (allergy relief-D). If you ever encounter a website where i can buy it, please post it here. Thx!

ATTENTION, all you people suffering for lack of Drixoral! I found something over the counter that actually WORKED. I got it at CVS, the pharmacy in California that has been eating up Walgreens and Rite Aid. It's called "Allergy Relief-D, 12 hour." A list of the active ingredients is below. I suffer horribly from allergies - itchy eyes, constantly running nose, nose swells up from blowing so I can't breath, can't sleep, and without medicine it all turns into a giant infection that only antibiotics will cure. I'm 66 and this has been going on since I was 20, so I know what I'm talking about. I was buying Drixoral in Canada until this year, when it's suddenly no longer available. I was freaking out because allergy season in California is a month early and I'm already dying. These pills WORK. The first one took about 2 hrs to kick in, but now it's just like taking Drixoral - no drowsy, no jittery, and no allergy symptoms - you just feel totally NORMAL again. Please pass this information on to everybody and everywhere - it's only $14 for 20 pills and it's over the counter - you have to sign for it, but who cares. Here's the ingredient list: cetirzine hydrochloride and pseudophedrine hydrochloride, 5 mg/120 mg. Relief is within our grasp again!

Drixoral is no longer available in Canada. My "dealer" there has nothing but substitutes - I say "dealer" because it makes me feel like a drug addict, having to go thru this to get a MEDICINE that I need to avoid my allergies getting so out of control that only a large dose of antibiotics will fix it! It's outrageous. I tried finding a source in the UK but they all look very dodgy. If anyone knows anything, please post - I'm down to 30 pills and it's only February. Thank you all, and good luck.

I had heard that someone had figured out a way to reformulate Drixoral so that they could not be converted into methamphetamine but have not heard of any further info of when it would be available

There was to be a product available by now called "Daxophed D" available last year but still nowhere to be found.

I live in Edmonton, Alberta Canada, and as of December 2015, I can no longer buy Drixoral over the counter. The pharmacist says that the round green tablets have been discontinued. I have been taking one a day for over thirty years, and as noted by many on this thread, it is the only thing that works to get rid of my sinus headaches. The pharmacist did indicate there is a behind-the-counter product called Eltor that has 120 mg of pseudoephedrine, but she would not give it to me for ongoing use without my doctor's permission. Does anyone have any other information on the status of Drixoral?

I have checked around the Canadian pharmacies and I am having no luck in obtaining Drixoral. The product has appeared to either be unavailable (even tho it is described) or simply not available to me in America. I read the post regarding DAXOPHED-D. Someone here mentioned it was to be available in October 2014 and then again in February 2015. I have found nothing on this except web-based evidence of trademarks and images, nothing regarding availability, where and when. I want my Drixoral back-HELP!

So Merck just passed the buck. Back to square one unfortunately. This is the reply I got from Bayer when I contacted them as Merck requested:

Thank you for taking the time to contact Bayer HealthCare.

We did acquire some of Mercks over the counter products in October 2014, however Drixoral was not among them. We unfortunately do not have any information regarding this product.

If I may be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

If anyone has any licensed pharmacies in Canada they know of that will legally ship Drixoral to USA as of 2015 PLEASE let us all know. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you for contacting Merck. Effective 10/1/2014, Bayer AG acquired Merck's existing over-the-counter business, including the product you mentioned, Drixoral. All inquiries on a former Merck Consumer Care product should be directed to Bayer AG. You can call them at 1-800-317-2165 (FREE). Let's flood this company with calls until we get Drixoral back in the US. It is still in Canada.
