Where To Purchase Paregoric (Page 18) (Top voted first)

I've used Paregoric for 15 years and can't find it. Is there anywhere in the U.S. or other countries where this can be purchased?

I never minded the taste of paragoric cause I was given it from the time I was about a month old for earaches that went on for years. I actually remember a "pop" ending the pain & wonder if my eardrum popped and released the pressure. I associated the taste of paragoric with the pain easing and while I never found it tasty, I was OK with the taste. (I've taken liquid potassium supplements since I was 16 and have gotten used to the taste of potassium too.) I was never allowed to mention menstrual cramps at home, so I'd go to my room and actually pass out from them. I just fought through them at school & work.

If your cramps are consistently bad, you may have endometriosis. The doctors who know the most about that are fertility doctors, as it's the leading cause of infertility in women worldwide. It took three botched surgeries before I went to a fertility doctor, and I don't want any other woman to go through that kind of hell. Apparently, cramps should not be so bad you need heavy drugs to handle them.

Many pharmacies have flavorings that can be added to liquid meds. The pharmacist should know what will mix with which drugs, as a drug with oil or alcohol may need a different kind of flavoring. You're free to mix a med with juice or whatever, but check with the pharmacist first. Grapefruit juice & OJ can neutralize some medications and cause bad side effects with others. It can be confusing, but the pharmacist should be able to help. If you don't get help, change pharmacies.

If you are in the US typically you will need to go to a pain specialist. These are typically Radiology trained doctors I guess because they often use fluoroscopes to guide needle insertion. They will diagnose what is going on and if you need strong pain medication will have you enter into an opioid contract. You will typically get tested every 6 months or so to verify you are not abusing the drugs and are not using illegal drugs. But if you need sifnificant amounts of opioids you will be out of luck after maybe 3 or 4 years when your body becomes less responsive to the pain killing due to building up your tolerance. I only have one other option left for me due to failed back surgery syndrome and lots of bone grafts blocking some other procedures.

If you are thinking of paregoric for pain, I think you would be better off with Oxycodone, and you avoid the nasty taste. To get the same pain killing strength as Oxycodone you would probably have to drink a lot of paregoric (but that is just a somewhat informed guess on my part).

I have also been looking for paregoric for my 4 month old son who is teething. My doctor wishes that it was still available because it worked wonders when used right. Does anyone know any other tricks that would work well for my son? I have tried teething tablet, oralgel, an all natural teething drops, frozen pacifiers and teething toys and nothing has worked thus far. HELP PLEASE :)
