I just don't understand why people like us are being punished for a crime committed by others. I used to take Drixoral every other night during the worst part of the season and my alergies were under control. In the last two years I have had to have steroid shots (never before) and have many different meds given that do not work; some trigger my asthma others make me feel ill or hungover.
I WANT DRIXORAL BACK AT THE PHARMACY!!!

Why would a company shut down production on a popular product for years while it moved its production site some where else? That doesn't make business sense. Any normal company would continue production at the old site until the new site came online then switch over - that way they would not loose money and customers due to the drug not being available for years. Obviously there is something else going on here that we are not being told about. As for requiring drugs that have been sold over the counter for years now being sold behind the counter and restricted because they contain an ingredient (pseudoephedrine in drixoral's case) that might be abused - well that is just the most rediculous move I have ever seen. Many good allergy medicines are now changing for the worse by removing superior ingredients to accomodate this insane law. What kind of logic is this that makes millions of good people with allergies suffer just because a few bad apples might want to use a medicine in some other way? Talk about paranoia and disregard for people's health - this takes the cake.

After many years of Drixoral and many tries of changing to other allergy meds, I now buy from Canada also. The flu like, constant hang over feeling I suffer when I do not take Drixoral makes it too hard for me to cope without it. Addicted.

Drixoral Allergy Sinus is the ONLY sinus med that works Quick and Effectively for me. I am unable to find it anywhere know. I hope this company gets back up and running soon...

I have also ordered Drixoral from a Canadian Pharmacy called CanadaPharmacyOnline.com If you're going to order from Canada make sure you order from a company with a Satisfaction Guarantee.

As Jasbir has noted below, I too found my favorite medicine Drixoral from Canada. I gave TruMedCanada.com a shot and they really have the original formulation(the green pill) called Drixoral Cold and Sinus in Canada in stock.BEWARE OF THE FACT that some Canadian pharmacies ship Drixoral from Turkey and the box is printed in Turkish. Also, the pill is white in color. So before you order, give them a call to find out where they ship from.
But for me, trumedcanada.com works as nobody beats their price and the best part of it all is that I received my shipment within 4 business days.

Drixoral is available from canada and from canadian online pharmacies. I bought mine from one of those and it has been perfectly fine for me. Only difference is packaging bt all the contents are the same. Try www.trumedcanada.com, they seem to be the cheapest in the market.

Along with allergy symtoms I suffer severe flu like symtoms, that include nausea. Drixoral is the only thing that eliminates it. Last Summer I tried everything, then finally ordered Drixoral online thru a Canadian pharmacy. I also take Children's Dimetapp Cold And Allergy Elixir which is the ONLY OTC product with Brompheniramine, the antihistamine in Drixoral.

Drixoral worked fine for all of us. When they banned meth components in my state, it was a key part of my decision to vote my elected officials out of office.
