Paregoric was taken off the market by the FDA "because they had never studied it". My local pharmacist says that it is now available but will cost approx. twenty times as much .It is produced by a company that bought the rights to produce it .The same thing has happened to colchicine,Formerly cheap now expensive for gout.se

ALL the prescription meds are going up in price though. Way high for some of the ones I take. If Paregoric is being produced again, and so many patients are interested in it, then the good old "supply and demand" can be a possible factor. Though, the economy being as is currently is, also plays a part in what the pharmaceutical company has to pay for the ingredients. (In My Opinion!!)

Karen!
I can't believe that! Where do you live? How frustrating for you! The reason I have taken it (forever!) is I trust it! When they took it off the market (see past posts on this site...we were ALL so upset!), Dr prescribed me tincture of opium and said "if you take more than prescribed, YOU WILL DIE"...well, inasmuch as tinc of opium is about 10x stronger than paregoric, I guess I can understand why! Paregoric use to be available OTC but, guess it was in the 70's or so that they removed it and in California (where I live) it takes a third degree RX to get it (other states, like Nevada, no big deal...just a regular RX will do it)...do you mind if I ask why you need it? Is it for IBS/colonitis or just pain diarrhea problems? Thanks! Betty

You can get paregoric in Barbados, Belize, and Jamaica. They sell it over the counter there.

Many doctors won't give a script for it because they believe in NOT giving something so addictive. And yes, it is addictive. But, if it is taken properly no one will be any more addicted to Paregoric than to any other narcotic medication. And that is the real difficulty for us. There is not much out there that works for diarrhea besides narcotic medication.

One other thing though, is that I am quite sure that Paregoric has not ever been OTC. Even in the days before Paregoric (pre-1910s?), Laudanum was by a doctors prescription. Opium Tincture was available, which is why the FDA never was able to mess with it currently. I've said it before, but I will say it again, . . . using this website, look up the history of Paregoric and also Tincture of Opium. It is really quite fascinating.

Katheryn, thanks for the reply. What I found out is in the small town I live most of the MDs are limited to what they can perscribe, due to the drug infested town I live in. My original DO would give me 2 6oz scripts a year. SO I used it wisely. I guess I'll have to get back to my Cleveland DO for a script. I've been on this blog for more than a year and what a journey its been!
