Respa-ar Discontinued?

Is it true that Respa AR is no longer being manufactured? When I went to Walmart to get my usual RX filled I was told it was no longer in production.

That is correct. Respa-AR contained Belladonna Alkaloids, Chlorpheniramine and Pseudoephedrine.

The problem stemmed from the fact that these were actually never FDA approved. Due to certain loopholes in the law, regarding drugs that were on the market, before the laws took effect, they were grandfathered in and were able to be sold for many years.

However, recent crackdowns on such problematic drugs has enabled the FDA have them pulled from the market, if the manufacturer doesn't do full safety and efficacy studies, as is done for any other prescription medication.

Both the Chlorpheniramine and the Pseudoephedrine are approved and there quite a few products on the market, both prescription and over the counter that contain them.

Have you tried contacting your doctor to discuss an alternative you can use?

Two questions:
1. Is Respa A.R. available over-the-counter, and if so, by what name is it known?
2. Is Respa A.R. available with prescription, and if so, can it be filled on-line?
Thank you!
