Pharmacies That Carry Paregoric Camphorated Opium Tincture
UpdatedDoes anyone know which pharmacies carry Tincture of Opium? I live in Texas and have been taking it for four years for uncontrollable diarrhea and HAVE to have it. It has become increasingly hard to find and is a real headache each month. I am looking for a mail-in pharmacy so I won't have this problem each month!
Thanks!

Did you try Mexico? I had 35" of my colon taken out. Now only the opium tincture works. I take 160 ml's a month. While now it's $850, do you think I can get a doctor to write a script and buy it in Mexico?
I have taken paregoric for 40 yrs. for colon problems. It is the only thing that worked. I contacted Hi Tech, the only company in U.S. that was manufacturing it. I was told they stopped making it in July, and MAYBE some time down the line they will again apply to the FDA to start making it again.
I have the same exact problem as the writer. Please write to me and let me know what you found out and where to get it. Thanks.
I have had a gastric bypass which has left me with uncontrollable diarrhea for the last 3 years. I've been taking Paregoric but all sources have dried up. The quality of my life is s*** (no pun intended) if I can't find a source. Help, please
Paregoric is the only med that stops my gut pain after I took Lotronex in 2000.
MY GI Doctor found it at a compounding pharmacy in the Dallas metroplex. There were two of the Dougherty's Pharmacy at Preston Rd., and Royal lane in Dallas and Trinity Pharmacy at Rosemeade and Josey Lane in Carrollton.
A compounding pharmacy can make it for you, although your insurance will not cover it. I have been taking it for spasic colon for years. It costs me about $70 per month.
Are you still able to get your med from a compounding pharmacy? Laws have changed again, not better for some of us. Since cancer treatments & half of intestines, I take 5 meds that do not help near as much as paregoric. I have rx for tincture of opium, doc say it's hard to find but works best for some, like me. Bedridden now, due to uncontrollable diarrhea & pain. What's left is pretty messed up, raw, & painful. I truly hope you are still able to get what helps you.
Ditto! I have RX from gastro docs, but we can't find it!
I have been on tincture of opium for the past 15 years and get it from my local pharmacy. It is expensive, 800.00/bottle, if you don't have insurance. My current insurance, Health Partners, and former insurance company, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, have always covered 80% of the cost. Edenbridge Pharmaceutical Company makes it. Hope that helps.
I have the same problem. I have no colon and an ileostomy, and the opium tincture is the only thing that truly helps. I am trying to get it from pharmacies that still have some left in stock.
