REPORT

Drixoral was taken off the market due to meth dealers using it as a key componant. Period.
The DEA is depriving regular citizens rather than doing their jobs.
When Prop 5 passes here in California, we will see Drixoral again. Prop 5 decriminalizes drug use and offers treatment instead.
Meanwhile - write to your Senator and Representative AND DEMAND DRIXORAL.
Big Pharm lobbyists and the DEA are causing this problem.
We, the people, will get our Drixoral back!!!
Email, write, call. Stop whinning! Just do it!

Drixoral is the only medicine that works for me as well, and I am very upset that I couldn't find it anywhere. I hope that everyone can get it soon!

You can still find drixoral from Canada and many online canadian pharmacies are selling it. I tried one of them and they had it readily available. The link to their page is http:/­/­www.trumedcanada.com/­OTC/­Drixoral.Dexbrompheniramine.cold.12.hour.relief.aspx
I received my 20 pack in 3 days!! They have awesome customer service and I will surely go back to them for a refill

Drixoral NA,

Just a quick question - was it really Drixoral or was it a substitute like Disophorol? I have had trouble w/a specific pharmacy in Canada which substituted w/o notifying me before sending the order.

It is drixoral for sure. Packaging is different but ingredients are the same. TruMedCanada is one of the few to have drixoral in stock. See my previous post for the link.

Drixoral NA:

Thank you for verifying and providing the link.

Just an update: I was able to receive a refund for the generic substitute. Which is good, but... it was still frustrating I had to go through the process of calling and requesting to speak w/a supervisor!

Thank you again for checking.

Thanks for the link for Drixoral. It is nice to have it back in my medicine chest. I was getting something from Denmark that was almost the same but not quite as good.

I've been researching Canadian pharmacies online for Drixoral and found the best price so far at crossborderpharmacy. $15.25 for 20, $76.25 for 100, i.e. all are 76 cents per tablet. The product is called Drixoral Cold and Sinus extended release tablets, which, the trumedcanada site says is the Canadian name for Drixoral Cold & Allergy the name it's packaged under in the US. Has anyone used this pharmacy? The only one I see recommended on this site is the trumedcanada site. Their price is $23.75 for 20, or $1.19 per tablet. Please advise. Thanks! Didn't know there were so many people in the same boat looking for this med!

I found Drixoral Cold & Sinus at Trumedcanada. It only cost me $23.75 and was shipped to me promptly. The Customer Service is great! I also looked at other online pharmacies, they were either much more expensive or out of stock. If you are not sure give them a call.

FYI this is the latest on the manufacturer's website. Sorry for the bad news.

Directly from manufactureer website:
Drixoral® Cold and Allergy

We are in the process of changing our manufacturing location for our product. Although multiple solutions are being pursued, it is unlikely product will be available in 2009. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We can offer several alternatives in the meantime.

Claritin® D-12
Claritin® D-24

We hope you will be patient with us during this period and thank you for supporting our product.

Claritin isn't worth the bottle it comes in. I think that is a lame excuse. If it is not being manufactured, how can Canadian pharmacies be selling it?

Thank you Drixoral NA. You are truly a lifesaver. I haven't felt well since my drixoral ran out. I just placed my order.

I thought I was going to have a panic attack when my local drug store stated that they don't have Drixoral. I asked WHY and when will they have it? They had no answers for me and was not able to tell me of anything else I could take in its place. Drixoral is the ONLY thing that works for me! I NEED IT!!!

DRIXORAL in its green pill, original formulation is available from Canada. Google DRIXORAL and pull up the canadian pharmacy address. It is between 24 to 29 dollars for 20 tabs.

I sympathize with those who can't find any Drixoral!! I understand that Schering-Plough closed the American plant that made Drixoral, and are moving it. When they accomplish that, they will go back to making Drixoral. I certainly hope they do!!
I found places in Canada that still make it, and order it online. It's exactly that same stuff! One caution however: it is very, very expensive! $99 for 60 tablets which is what you need if you take it night and day!! Because of that expense, I only now take it during the day. Anyhow, that's a possibility!

My husband and I went to Costco yesterday as I took the last tablet the day before as I had a lingering sinus headache. I only take Drixoral on an as needed basis for a bad cold or for a sinus headache. I do not take it everyday. Actually, I have not taken a tablet since early last fall. Thanks to everyone for the tips on trying to replace it with something else. I sent my son off to college with a box of Drixoral Aug 2007. He hardly ever gets sick but had a really bad cold last week and took the Drixoral which helped him immensely. Maybe he will let me borrow some....if I get desperate. I agree with everyone that it is the law-abiding citizen that always pays for the ones that break the laws.

I was told by a Canadian Pharmacy that you need a prescription now for this, any else been told that?

REPLY

no, an rx is not required for Drixoral, at least not in the province that the Candian pharmacy that I work for is in. FYI, the reason that the price went up so drastically is that our suppliers raised their prices, probably in response to the greater demand caused by the closing of the US plant. And gov't restrictions allow us to only provide a max of 60 tabs every 30 days per patient.

Not sure if this will help, the somebody passed the word on in another discussion thread that northwestpharmacy seems to carry Drixoral, as well as a generic alternative containing the same active ingredients. Actually, I did not even know that any other companies manufactured this .... I always thought that the ingredient Dexbrompheniramine was only available from the original manufacturer.

Anyways, the link is:

Good luck to everyone. If anybody does contact this site, please post back with your experience, whether the right product came in, etc.
