Generic For Donnatal

Do they use these drugs as a GI cocktail to treat acid refluk? ## I have used a GI cocktail with belladona and donnatol for years. It had cost me about $28 a bottle, after ins. paid their portion. Now they said they can't get generic donnatol and the substitute is expensive so they are charging $130 a bottle at Walgreens. I told them to keep it. that's an outrage. If FDA has done this, it's time to contact our congressmen/women. ## No, this medication combination is most commonly used to treat, or prevent IBS symptoms. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, and abdominal pain. Natlie, the FDA has nothing to do with setting the prices for any given medication, that is entirely up to the manufacturer. The FDA has...

I've been taking Donnatal and/or Belladona for over 10 years to treat IBS. When it was time for a refill, I was told both the brand name and the generic forms have been taken off the market. I am lost with these meds, that virtually eliminated the discomforts of IBS. ## I'm very sorry that you've run into this problem, it has to be awful to have that happen, when it's the only thing that works. Learn more Donnatal details here. What's been happening recently is due to the FDA crackdowns. There were some medications that remained available on the market, even though they'd never been tested and proven to be effective or safe and they've started to make the companies either do the necessary testing, or remove them from the market. The sad part is, that in spite...

why can't anyone receive donnotal or bella Alk we need these generics for low income people. i asked my pharmacist and they said it is no longer available in generics. and that is costs 500.00 dollars. ## HI, Nanny! I'm very sorry about the problem you've run into. Some medications were never actually tested and approved by the FDA, they were just grandfathered in, since they were considered safe and had been on the market for so long. However, the FDA is now insisting that they all undergo testing for approval, just as is done with all other medications and this has resulted in many companies that manufacture such generics having to remove their products from the market, because it isn't financially feasible for them to do the testing and undergo the approval process.

If someone finds the generic pls post it here Thank You !!! ## Hi Care, Based on what I've read, apparently they really did stop making the generic form of Donnatal (Belladonna Alkaloids with Phenobarbital).

But I hear a different company ended up buying out the generic and now only the brand name is said to be available. Have you considered trying the brand name yet? ## When was donnatal exlir I heard from Walgreens said it was not being made any...

trying to find out the pill I found. It is round, white, no score marks, flat with a capital P on both sides. I was on donnatal and valium at different times. I wonder if it is a generic donnatal.. Please help!! ## I can't find a listing for it under any prescription medications or in the general database searches. Is it possible that it may be an over the counter product? Have you been on any supplements? Cold remedies? Anything like that? Usually an odd imprint like this is an over the counter product logo. ## I have done a search and found that it is Proprinal, an Ibuprofen pain reliever.
