Co-proxamol
Posted: Mon 31 January, 2005 Filed under: Health 868 Comments »Interesting to see today that the painkiller co-proxamol is to be scrapped. Apparently it’s been linked with up to 400 deaths per year and a study found it was the second biggest method of drug-related suicide in the UK, accounting for almost one in five deaths.
I’ve used co-proxamol before, and I can see why it’s easy to overdose on, either intentionally or accidentally. It’s a seriously heavy gun in the world of painkillers, and while it’s sad to see something so effective be withdrawn from the market, I can understand the reasons why it’s necessary to do so.

Can you email me on my old email address above? on post 472? Just to see if we can maybe work anything out together?!:/
I don’t like wasting all the space on here talking back and forward unless it’s to everyone.:)
Has you noticed Medica2u have changed to Prescibe4u.com ?
Andrea
I followed your instructions but I’m afraid I didn’t get a reply…..

Hi Selina at 508 and Lizzie at 510.
The maximum sentence on conviction of supplying this category of drug is 14 years in jail.
I would urge you to be more circumspect about how and what you post on a public domain website.
Lyle, perhaps you could do the honours, and remove any offending posts that might place innocent pain sufferers in harms way.
[Lyle – ‘Tis Done – cheers!)
The real villain of the piece is Professor “Sir” Alasdair Breckenridge M.D., and if all goes according to plan, he will go the way of Professor Sir Roy Meadows M.D. In fact if the UK Parliamentary Honours Forfeiture Committee have any balls, Breckenridge may lose his knighthood as he is ultimately responsible for leaving many people to live and die in untreated pain due to the collapse of the MHRA “Named Patient” system….
Exhibit A your honour……

Lyle could you remove my post thanx so i could write a new 1 thanx
lizzie its smcctw@aol.com thanks
@511 above
Several months ago, aware that Sir Alasdair Breckenridge is a doctor, checked out on
http://www.gmc-uk.org/#
I submitted a formal complaint against said doctor alleging negligence in his stewardship of the MHRA coproxamol “Named Patient” system and citing the GP insurers AND Medical Defence Union refused to insure their members and warned their members to stop ALL prescribing due to the medico-legal risk Breckenridge’s MHRA had placed them in.
Furthermore I cited the fact that my own doctor agreed that I had a clinical need for coproxamol, but the “Named Patient” system left him in an untenable position……
So I was refused coproxamol and left in unmedicated pain following spinal surgery.
Some 203 letters to GP surgeries later, the fact was established that none of these surgeries were prepared to prescribe coproxamol. I alleged to the GMC Breckenridge had brought the medical profession into disrepute by leaving patients like myself in untreated pain.
Oddly, when I checked today, Breckenridge had relinquished his registration as a doctor.
Methinks if Breckenridge and the MHRA continue to stonewall the coproxamol mess the Honours Forfeiture Committee will have a similar complaint lodged with them. Whatever good things Breckenridge may have done with his life, the problems he has caused 1,700,000 coproxamol patients is unchivalrous and inhumane.
Though the loss of “Sir” Alasdair’s knighthood may be the least of his or the MHRA problems.
Given recent events where patients who have been trying all manner of ways to obtain established coproxamol pain medication have been scuppered, there now appears little alternative but to seek legal opinion as to whether there is some form of actionable criminality for the police to investigate at the MHRA.
If the likes of Cabinet Ministers are now under scrutiny of the Metropolitan Police for alleged fiddling of their taxpayer funded expenses, then what sort of rank of charges for crimes against humanity might those culpable of such abject and provable negligence at the MHRA be worthy of criminal investigation?
The MHRA have arrogantly ignored the UK Parliament and demands from the MP’s to reclassify coproxamol as a “Class A” drug so clinicians can prescribe where necessary and be insred for such prescribing.
There will, in due course be a reckoning at MHRA Ivory Towers, and some inhumane idiots that are employed within that malfunctioning organisation.
I still say this co proxamol issue is to do with ministers and pharmasuticles getting together to remove the most popular pain reliever, that got in the way of other pain killers not being sold so well on the market, this as the bad smell of money all over it. these dark and watery times with a windy chill about their secret orders that they are in funny hand shake brigade. cabel and all, are just doing it to bring down the spirit and soul of mankind, also whats with the discontinuation of 100 wat light bulbs they want us all in the dark ages again, maybe a new thred on the illuminati would go well. its all a bloody conspiricy i say so my self. and Russ you write a damn good essay on co proxamol, its much appreciated. P.S with your inteligent and great grammer with words, any chance of applying for a co proxamol liscence from the goverment so we may buy them from pharmasuticles in cypres like medica2u do, lol. God bless you Russ. keep it coming.
Thanks Lyle
Thank you Lyle…..
Get in touch with me on smcctw@aol.com for infomation thanx
I have followed this thread with much interest and gratitude. Have ordered from prescribe4u and await delivery hopefully but anxiously. They took my credit card for payment. If anyone knows of any other site that supplies co-prox could they let it be known. This drug is so helpful to me.
Is Destirol just the same as Coproxamol?
Hi Avril
Yes, Destirol have exactly the same ingredients as Coproxamol.
I have used them lots from P2U and I don’t find any difference. 🙂
Thanks Andrea, will try to get them
Avril,
They do have them at the moment.
I ordered some on Thursday and I received them today. 🙂
Hope this helps.

Did you bump into General Mugabe Magu on your travels?.
lol .no he never got in contact Chris ..i did fancy those earings ,and of course the millions would have come in handy …
Hi Andrea forgot to say hi ,are you well stocked up lol ..
‘
Hi Anne 🙂
Nice to see you back. Hope you had a good holiday. I will email you later.
Hi guys. how did you manage to order, I still cant get to the payment bit.Its always temp out of order
Hi guys,
Is it not time to get this blog back on track of the serious question of how and where to safely order and pay, for co-proxamol tablets, instead of turning into a ‘carry on holiday’ soap opera type of thing. Lets have some serious feedback about pharma/medica/prescribe4u etc.
Hi Roge
Tell us ,whats your contribution to the site ?…….lighten up man
Greetings Every Peoples,
Am I to believe that I am seeing the very unique Britishness tradition of “Handbags at Dawn” from Roge and Anne today? Speaking of which my very honourable Queen of Scotland Zitzit Mugabe had said she has some much much bargainess of handbags made of the finest Zimbabwian Crocodile. If anyone would like, they can be had for only four million Zimbabwean Dollars. You must better be quick as they are being snappy snapped up by much much cheapness bargain hunters.
Just send me your Paypal account and password and I shall be very happy to relieve you of a few dollars for these very handsome handbags so you can…… what is your British phrase…..ah yes, “Norra Batty” each other on the head with the handybags.
Meanwile Roge, I must be very serious and you must be sworn to secrecy otherwise the Queen of Scotland will be down to bash you with one her Rab C Nesbit range of handbags herself (the crocodile ones with the crocodile teeth still on them, often used at Celtic and Rangers footlball games).
My dearest Anne Tay has been specially recruited to travel around the world at her very own expense. Her Zimbabwean spy number is 003 and a half. She is licensed to thrill.
Her mission is to seek out places for that much ellusive thing: the coproxamol tablet.
So far we have Cyprus, and Malta. Especially Malta where it is just over one GBP£1 per box. That is until the very bad Knight Breckenridge stops that. But with Anne’s valiant travels, we will not be beaten.
Your most very sincerely,
General Mugabe Mugu
Hi Roge, I was going to comment about Anne’s contribution in providing info on the Coprox, but i see General Mugabe Magu has put it into words far better than i could. If you have any any info
on this subject we would all be pleased to read about it.
Come on now ..stop the hilarity ,right what we want now is the death march …all together now [in tune please ,dum dum da dum dum da dum da dum da dum .till Roge finds a way of getting us DA DGs…..
WELL DONE MAGU …lol lol lol lol
Hi Roge & Anne,
The principal way we have to sort this out is have the MHRA listen to the THREE Parliamentary Debates dedicated to the MHRA coproxamol mess, and reclassify coprox in the UK as a Class A drug. The MHRA need to dump the failed and discredited “Named Patient” farce.
The Medical Health Regulator Sir Alasdair Breckenridge isn’t listening. His time in post is finite. He has already “surrendered” his registration as a doctor with the GMC which he held since 1961. Not sure if it had anything to do with the forceful dossier evidencing MHRA incompetence and bringing the medical profession into disrepute submitted to the GMC that had anything to do with his leaving the GMC, but he will be written to again, asking him to listen to Parliament and sort out this mess.
If the Medical Health Regulator continues to ignore common sense, then the Honours Forfeiture Committee at the House of Parliament will have a dossier submitted and formally requested to look into his fitness to retain both his knighthood and his position at the MHRA.
The sooner coproxamol is available to UK doctors to prescribe to patients that need it without the hapless MHRA placing said doctors in harms way on the medico-legal front the better.
IMHO.
Best regards,
Russ.
P.S. Anyone willing to sign up for the Forfeiture Committee fight???
GO Russ …i for one will back you all the way …
From little acorns ,grow mighty oaks ..got to start somewhere…
What we need is somebody to lobby parliament,from the corridors of power i understand in USA this kind of thing is common …any views on this
Over to you Russ…
well look what Joanna Lumley done for the Gurkhas ?anyone know anyone well known who would would do the same for us ….god i work for the Nhs ssshhh….even a sympathetic documentry producer ..just a thought ..
Hi Anne,
Good thinking about the lobby of UK Parliament. The thing is, this has been done. Not just this, but the whole MHRA mess on coproxamol has been debated in the House of Commons. Three times. This is the ace, or rather three aces on our table.
The fourth ace is that the Parliamentary Health Committee have heavily citicised the MHRA.
The fifth ace, if there is such a thing, is that last night I was handed a Freedom of Information answer from the MHRA that shocked me.
The MHRA is almost entirely funded by drug companies. NOT the NHS, NOR Government. The MHRA is in the pockets of the drug companies and NOT independent.
No, Anne, I think many folk have already put the time in on this. Parliament has voiced its voews, all but told the MHRA to reclassify coproxamol as a Class A drug.
The next stop is to have the Medical Health Regulator removed from office, the MHRA closed down and a proper NON self-regulatory medical regulatory organisation put in place.
The likely way this will be progressed is via another BBC Panorama expose featuring the MHRA. Panorama already told me they think that the MHRA have featured more than any other organisation on their documentary series.
Very best regards,
Russ.
Well lets hope that Panorama can do another incisive documentary ,to reclassify DG …
I cannot get past the page to pay on the prescribe4you site.
Any help please. These are the only pills that stop me from having an agonizing 3 day migraine.
Hi Barbara
Usually when that happens, they are having problems with their payment system.
If you email them I’m sure they will offer you to order through email.
They are usually very obliging that way.
Hope this helps,
Andrea
Russ
I’m willing to sign up for anything that helps! 🙂
Thank you Andrea, my doc wouldn’t let me have these as a named patient and I only need on pill to cure a migraine, nothing else works like it. I r`rely visit the doc and ask for anything, I told him, I bet you dish out methodone for folks but I just ask to be relieved of a paralyzing pain and you refuse. I have 4 pills left and am trying to keep them if we go on holiday. I don’t take alot as I get older the frequency of migraine is lessening but I dread the thought of a migraine and no coproxamol.
Which email address do you use as I have never ordered online before and didn’t decide to until I read the comments on here which reassured me.
Hi Barbara,
I totally understand how you feel! It’s crazy that we have to go to these lengths to get coproxamol?! As you say, they dish out Methaddone here, there and everywhere yet make US feel like the junkies?!
Anyway, the email address I use is either….
amin @prescribe4u.com (without the space)
or
medica2u @googlemail.com (without the space)
Is it just the payment you can’t get past?
I know they were having problems with Distalgesic stock but have plenty of Destirol.
I have used Destirol many times and they have exactly the same ingredients as Distalgesic and I don’t find any difference.
Hope you get on alright.
Andrea
