Drixoral Substituted With Wal*finate-d

Updated

I spoke with a pharmacist at Walgreen's. He suggested a Walgreen's brand. It is called Wal*Finate-D. It is a antihistamine/nasal decongestant. I took one an hour ago and it has dried up my nose and the sneezing has stopped. It is not available on the store shelf, you have to get it at the pharmacy. I have been suffering for two years since Drixoral was taken off the shelf. Benedryl did not work nor Alka-Seltzer cold plus. But Wal*Finate-D is amazing and was only around $6.00 for 48 tablets. It does make you a little drowsy but it got the job done for me.

Thank you for posting this, there have been many people looking for a viable substitute, since the loss of sales caused them to stop manufacturing Drixoral.

Is there any chance you can post back with more information on the ingredients in the product you are using, so people can compare?

Here are the drug facts from the carton: Active ingredients in each tablet are Chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg.- Purpose: Antihistamine and Pseudoephedrine HCI 60 mg.- Purpose: Nasal Decongestant. Temporary relief of runny nose, sneezing, itchy watery eyes, itchy throat and nasal congestion due to hay fever or other respiratory allergies. It doesn't make me as drowsy as Drixoral used to. I have been taking two a day and it has helped me tremendously. Hope this info helps. Von

Drixoral was supposed to make me drowsy, but I found I got drowsy when I didn't have it. It seemed the congestion it reduced, makes me drowsy ! Anyway, if you eve have any friends pass through Turkey, see if they can get you some Disophrol Repetabs, which is made by Schering-Plough THERE !
