Why Is Actifed Banned (Page 4)

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.

Aren't these the ingredients of Zyrtec D?

As others have stated, APRODINE has the same stuff as the old actifed. I just bought a 24 pack at my local grocery store pharmacy. It's cheap and it works and you don't have to seek it out in a foreign country.

If you take your Actifed box to a pharmacy around the world they will try to come close but I understand your frustration. When I worked for the U.S. military and there was a clinic they provided me with Actifed and the commercials at the time said that the one product the Govt. knew that worked for folks that had to fly with head sinus issues got this and that group were our Astronauts...

Re: Carole (# 68)

I'm currently in Southern Idaho and I just bought Wal-Act at Walgreen's... 48 tablets for $7.99. It was behind the pharmacy counter and had to show my ID. It has the same ingredients as original Actifed. It was always the only thing that worked for me. That's not to say that EVERY Walgreen's will carry it. It might be something that is left up to the pharmacist in each location. So to those who say that Walgreen's doesn't carry it anymore, that is incorrect. Might just be your area Walgreen's that doesn't carry it. I also saw a post where someone was saying it was the "Wal-Fed" and that is incorrect. Wal-Fed is Walgreen's brand of Sudaphed. Wal-Act is what you're after. Thanks.

I've buy my wal-act in Washington state. In Oregon I've been told pseudoephedrine is by prescription-only so wal-act is not available in Oregon Walgreens. Just bought some three weeks ago in Washington.

Someone above said that Aprodine was available from Major Pharmaceuticals with the same formula as original Actifed. I've looked at their website and it is geared to retailers, not end-users. I can't figure out who retails this stuff. Can anyone tell me?

Actifed really worked. Now I can't find it, nor any info on why it was removed from stores. Please advise.

I agree whole heartedly with you. I would love to know where to get some. The walk act is terrible. Makes you sick or sicker than you really are

We still have it in our country and it's sold OTC where people can just go in and get some. I'm actually using it at the moment.
