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?

For stomach cramps, yes, yes and yes. It takes away the pain immediately and everything else is just watered down medicine.

Paregoric was over the counter in the 1940's, 50's, 60's. I think by the late 60's you had to sign for it, but it was still available. Finally, by the late 70's or early 80's it was only available by prescription and now it doesn't appear to available in the United States at all. The doctor would prescript paregoric and Pepto-Bismol mixed for intestinal flu when I was a kid in the 50s. The chemist would mix it for you. Later Donagel PGas available.. Later it had to be signed for and it now gone. Nothing has ever worked as well as paregoric for IBS, and intestinal flu diarrhea. It stops the pain, relaxes the intestine and allows for bowel movements to happen with the horrible spasms of the colon.

Paregoric is being made by Hi-Tech Pharmacal who operates from Amityville, NY, and pharmacies should be able to order it from there if they are so inclined. In my opinion, paregoric works like a charm for stomach cramps and diarrhea and not much else works as well as it does.

Hi Monica, I am sorry to hear about your issues, my wife has the same issues and paregoric does help. It is expensive and some insurance do not cover it. You will have to check with your provider. If you are in Medicare, they should cover it, up to the donut hole. We have a local pharmacist compound it, not all pharmacies compound drugs, in fact few do. We live in Alabama, and use a pharmacy in Harpersville, AL. Harpersville Pharmacy, I do not know if they can or will ship it.
I hope this is helpful, God Bless

To Red Baron: ASA is the short for aspirin. The entire acquired chemical name being: acetylsalicylic acid. A(cetyl) S(alicylic) Acid. Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_aspirin) has a very interesting article on the development of the properties of salicylic acid from various plants, through to the achievement of what we now call an aspirin tablet. The plants with this general chemical have been used by people for pain for thousands of years. (APAP is the short term for acetaminophen)

Betty: I wasn't able to post anything as the day after Christmas the retina of my left eye became detached and I wasn't able to read, focus, get on computer, drive, work, etc., you name it....Quite an extended recovery period and still not over. I just saw the post from Pam in So. Africa and asked her a question about the pharmacy she purchased from. I always enjoy your posts so much. I am from the east coast of Florida and still my dr. does not prescribe paregoric. He did prescribe a "morphine syrup" for a friend of mine and says it's better than paregoric, but I don't believe it.

Pam: Do you have a telephone number for that pharmacy in SA? Or, can I just write them and ask if they will send me a bottle when I send them the money first? My dr. does not prescribe it. Do you know if they mail out to the US?
Thank you.

Maryann? I'm so sorry, this is the first time I've read your post! Von's (Safeway) and Raley's in California...those are the two stores that carry it in my small town...where you able to find it?
Pam? Honest, if I didn't have insurance, I would consider purchasing it in another country...BUT...do we know if we can "trust it"???
It IS expensive in US...and I guess that's the old "supply/demand" theory...it just shouldn't be that way...and yet, I guess I do understand how expensive it can be to make just a few batches at a time...
I guess I just REALLY don't understand...why, oh why, do we have to take DAILY RX's for "our problem" other than paregoric, when this basically INEXPENSIVE medication works so well? I don't think I will ever understand that...

I bought some today in Cape Town, South Africa. It is a Lennon product manufactured in SA by Pharmacare Limited, building 12, Healthcare Park, Woodlands Drive, Woodmead, 2191, SA.
It is a schedule 2 drug here so it is not kept on the open shelves but behind the counter in the pharmacy (drug store in USA) and I had to ask for it and explain why I wanted it. It was very inexpensive: R14,95 for a 20ml bottle - I think that is less than 2$. It goes by the name of Paragoriese-Elikser and it is a tincture. I hope that helps.

Compazine is never going to help a stomach ache or flu diarrhea. It is meant to help stop nausea. If you do have a stomach flu (with vomiting) any of the anti-nausea meds will not help you. You are nauseous because your stomach is not digesting, nor sending it down to the intestinal tract. Hence, things that coagulate your food and bile (like Kaopectate) will help sometimes. Paregoric will help you the most for the flu. Since you have it, I would use it.
