WASHINGTON — U.S. health regulators on Tuesday asked makers of popular anti-diarrhea drugs to sell their medications in smaller amounts to make them harder to abuse.
The request comes amid a spike in overdoses from large doses of the over-the-counter drugs, which contain a small amount of an opioid.
The price for this drug has almost doubled because some fool want to get high. It is not fair to the people who needs these drugs. I used to buy the larger amounts because it saved me money. I can see putting them behind the counter buy give up the prices we were playing before.
Agreed. Finally found something that allows me to live a normal daily life and now I can’t get it.
This is so dumb this is another way big brother aka the government who is the one providing all that dope trying to control how you shit now
I have had several major abdominal surgeries that have left me with chronic diarrhea. I take usually three loperamide tablets daily, and occasionally more, to control the diarrhea. Removing the pills from presumably child proof blister packs is not a realistic option. Are there any alternatives for people like me?
Have you had you terminal ileum removed? If so, are you taking a bile acid sequestrant to combat bile acid malabsorption?
