Jon Says:
I'm looking for the old formulation of Actifed.
Are there any countries that still sell it?
I know you can use it to make drugs, but it's the only thing that works for me (and it helps me sleep too).
I would not have ANY problem having the FBI at my house if I could get some. They'd be sitting on my shelf just exactly like my 16 bottles of shampoo, 42 bars of soap and 18 boxes of bandaids (I'm not a hoarder, I just hate running out of stuff...and stupidly, before that stuff went away, I didn't buy a ton of it).
The stuff they sell behind the counter is a reformulation....it's different.

Buy a box of pseudo ephedrine and a box of chloprinephrine (or however you spell it) maleate. That's what I've done in the past. However, I've switched to nettle as an antihistamine and it works better than anything over the counter for allergies.

Aprodine is the original Actifed. It is available at Publix in FL and TN . It may be available at all Publix stores but I have only bought it in these 2 states. The ingredients are PSEUDOEPHEDRINE HYDROCHLORIDE 60mg, TRIPROLIDINE .

I am in total misery only thing helps is wal-act and can't find here in ms. Hate govt and sorry meth addicts messing my life up. Have tried all the OTC and other prescription they say works instead. Nothing helps spent hundreds for no relief. No one cares if I suffer? I can't go on living like this.

I have always used Actifed for a bad cold with congestion as well. Just one or two pills and it dried me right up. I got sick again over the holidays and am suffering so started looking for the product since I'm out of it. Found your post from February 2014 and just contacted my Walgreen's in Hillsdale, NJ. They still carry Wal-Act (similar to the old Actifed) behind the counter. I'm thrilled. Hope this helps you too.

Original Actifed was triprolidine only and did not have pseudoephedrine added. Wal-Act contains both.

fan of original ACTIFED Says:
The original ACTIFED was a combination of the decongestant pseudoephedrine HCI and the antihistamine triprolodine . Because of the proliferation of meth labs , pseudoephedrine HCI (the original Sudafed ) is being phased out thanks to the federal government . It's replacement , phenylephrine HCI , is a lame substitute .

Today the local Walmart had absolutely no cold meds with Pseudoephedrine in stock.
But just found Wal-Act today at the local Walgereens.
Cost $7.99 for 48 tabs
Here are the active ingredients:
Pseudoephedrine HCl 60 mg
Triprolidine HCl 2.5 mg
Allowed one at a time, have to show ID, sign agreement to obey the law, etc.

Walgreen's doesn't sell it any longer. I've been on a 3 week quest and all I can get from all of the pharmacists is to try combinations of other products to achieve the same results. None of the pharmacists, store managers, or corporate headquarters has an answer. The best they come up with is that if the sales weren't high enough they must have discontinued it. It seems ludicrous to me that a decision would be made to discontinue an item that has been carried on their shelves for years and no message was sent out to the stores as to why? Very poor customer service.

I'm totally willing to send money to those that can get these and ship it to me lol! Actifed and Wal-act used to help my asthma and allergies so well and I'm terribly sad that I cannot find them here in my area of Florida

My ENT doctor orders them for me. If you have a doctor who can help you... majorpharmaceuticals.com has them, but does not sell to the public. Major sells them as Aprodine in 100 tablet bottles. Good luck!

I found 48 tablet Wal-Act in San Carlos, CA today for $9.48. Each tab is 60 mg Psuedophedrine HCl + 2.5 mg Triprolidine. Needed to show photo ID and sign some form.
For more info, see: Actifed Details. Apparently, the original ingredients are also available in Genac and Aprodine, if you can find them.

Aprodine has Pseudoephedrine Hcl and Tripolidine Hcl, but the inactive ingredients are not exactly the same. Can be a problem for some.
