Sinutab - Where Is It? (Page 2)

I have been trying to find Sinutab, have they quit making it? Why? It was the best allergy relief I found.
Hi all, here is an update. I contacted Johnson and Johnson the manufacturer here in Au. They told me that there were 2 medications, Sinutab and Sudafed. In short they have removed sinutab but REPLACED it with Sudafed. Now NOT the one you see on the pharmacy shelves you have to ask for it and show your licence. There are 2, Pain, Sinus and allergy this is the same as what sinutab use to be ! and there is Pain and Sinus. Because I already take Zertec every day (antihistamine). I was told to buy the Pain and Sinus version which is what I have done. So far I've only taken it once BUT IT WORKED. Just remember you DONT want PE. Ask for the one that is S3. This means it is behind the counter and you must show a licence to purchase it. Hope this helps someone.
PLEASE someone bring this back. It was discontinued because aparently drug addict were after one of the ingrediants. I have tried everything including the chemist own brand they told me was the "same" well it is NOT the same. I suffere cronic headaches and migranes and non of the preventatives the doctors prescribe work or have alwful side effects. The sinutab was in a RED AND WHITE box. any one know anywhere I can import it to Aus ??
Sinutab was the best. I just used my last pill today. Best idea is to buy in Canada or The equivalent in Europe. Sinutab- it took the pain away.
I'm a Canadian & you can only purchase it in Canada. I've been it the States for awhile & have yet to find anything close to it. If you know anyone there they can more likely send you some. If not It's a nice visit.
I agree too, Sinutab was the only sinus medication OTC that took care of a headache. Why on earth would they allow a marketing decision take it off the shelf when so many people benefited from their product. How DUMB!!!
You can only now buy it in Canada and Canada won't let americans purchase.
Does anyone know where to purchase sinutab tablets?
The sinutab pink pill works very good for me , I missed a lot
I just came back from Portugsl, where I was recommended Sinutab 2. It was awesome
One pill every 24 hours, and I felt grest. It opened my sinuses like nothing else. And it was only about 4 euros ($4.50) for a box of 15. I wish I had brought more home.
The U.S. medical industry ( laws) are far behind those of europe.
I used the pink Sinutab round pill, in the 70's, it ALWAYS gave me quick relief from migraines, I really wish they would bring that product back, I suffer everyday!!! Most days I can barely function.
My Doctor recommend MucinexD and I am trying the Maximum Strength tablet. The first tablet I tried seemed to make feel better.
I agree with everyone else that Sinutab WAS THE BEST OTC out there!!!!! I am suffering this season for sure, and have been using store generics the past couple of seasons, "OK" but not the total relief I used to get. Sudafed doesn't agree with me, so I'm just trying to get lucky with others I try. Too bad marketing companies don't survey first before taking things off shelves, I always thought marketing had a lot to do "with us...the public"...just sayin'!
SINUTAB was the Only sinus Med that relieved my blinding sinus migraine and didn't make me sleepy, like Sudafed did. That "marketing decision" was clearly a STUPID one!
SUDAFED PE Pressure Plus Pain is the same company....But i use the Walmart brand "Equate" equivalent to Sudafed! Hope this helps you as much as it does me!
I took an empty box of Sinutab to Walgreen's a long time ago to see if they had anything that would replace it when it was no longer available. (I did the same thing at Bartell's). Both brought out their pharmaceutical books and stated that I would require at least 4 different products OTC to match Sinutab. Unfortunately I no longer have the box an certainly wish I did as I am some what skeptical of Walfinite-D. But, will try a small box of it along with some acetaminophen. Their Aller-Tec certainly isn't working!
Active ingredients are in generic form at Walgreens called Walfinite-D. No tylenol so you need to add your own if you also have pain. Im glad to find it without the analgesic.
In Ireland the manufacturers McNeil have re-branded Sinutab as Sudaplus. Exact same ingredients, tablet size, box size. The only difference is the packaging.
What's the name of the manufacturer ? Contacting them may help.
How stupid a decision to discontinue Sinutab! It is the only OTC sinus pill that relieves headache, congestion and sinus pain. In other words it did what it was supposed to do. Bring it back!!!
