I am looking for tripelennamine. As a pharmacist I clearly remember 60mg then sr 100mg tabs being available. Zyrtec, Claritin, Allegra together could not work as well pbz. I worked at smoke filled bowling alley back then and pbz with Sudafed were required. ## According to "Martindale the Complete Drug Reference" & "Physician's Desk Reference", Pyribenzamine (tripelennamine hcl) is no longer produced in brand or generic versions in the USA. It is said to still be available in bulk powder, something like a minimum order of 25 gram bottles, strictly sold only to a USA pharmacy, or a USA "compounding pharmacy". It is also noted to be manufactured in about 4 or 5 other countries, but those countries are based in or around Europe. Others have suggested looking ...

Pyribenzamine - where can I get it?
I'm feeling miserable with tearing eyes, running nose and sneezing. Cetirizine makes me shake, so that's out of the question. I want Pyribenzamine (Tripelennamine) - it was the only thing that ever worked. Does Mexico have it? I'm close enough to the border to go to Nogales. ## I finally got 90 capsules of Pyribenzamine (Tripelennamine) from my compounding pharmacy (Metcalf) in Brevard, NC today for $130. I just took the first one. My mother would give me half a tab as a kid (crushed with sugar and water) and it quelled my allergies. I hope it will work better than what I've been taking (Zyrtec and Claritin). For many years as a teenager and adult, I used Ornade but it is no longer available either. If you have your compounding pharmacy contact Metcalf, I'm sure they...
