Orange liquid in brown bottle with dropper.
Also, I talked to the pharmacist and the medicine still has morphine in it, thus why it's a controlled substance. I know some people on here said it didn't have the opium derivative. I also talked to a pharmacist friend of mine and this is what he said, it is camphorated tincture of opium (also known as anhydrous morphine) and is equivalent to 0.4 mg/ml of morphine. Yours is the normal starting dose of 5 ml (2 mg morphine equivalent). Hope that's helpful to some.
Hi Kathy,
I was successful in getting Paragoric. I'm from NJ and my local CVS called the manufacturer and was able to order it in. I'm looking at the bottle now and it says the manufacturer is Hi-Tech Pharm. The CVS phone number I use is 856-596-7010. Hope it helps! The stuff tastes god awful, but I suppose if I was used to taking shots of hard liquor it wouldn't burn going down as much haha.
Hi Megan,
If you are successful getting Paragoric could you tell me the name and phone number of the Pharmacy?
I was just prescribed Paragoric for intestinal issues after having my large intestine removed. I took the RX to the pharmacy and they said they didn't have it but that they could get it from the manufacturer. We'll see, it's supposed to come in today.
I took paragoric as a child because of severe headaches. It was the only thing that helped and as I got older I would tell doctors but they looked at me like an idiot. I know you could get it but had to sign for it. It is sold now but no longer has opium derivitive as ingredient. I have never had any addiction issues, never smoked and can always tell if I am drinking more than I should so I do not think it is an issue unless you have issues. I was always given a teaspoon in glass of water and never sweetened so down the glass, it tasted awful but it would allow me to sleep in rid headache that followed me from age 5 til I had a hysterectomy at age 50. Nothing ever helped and now am helped if need something by Excedrin for migraines.
My Dad has been taking Paragoric for years for his crohns colitis and was just notified by the VA where he gets his meds that they can no longer get it. Do any of you have any contacts you can provide to us?
I took paragoric as a teenager for menstrual cramps. Worked extremely well. We got it from a pharmacist in St. Thomas, VI in the early '60's. At the time, we didn't know it was an opium derivative.
