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 It’s a seriously heavy gun in the world of painkillers, and while it’s sad to see something so effective be withdrawn from the market, I can understand the reasons why it’s necessary to do so.
Hi Andrea,
Anne should get back to you re e-mail address.
Chris
Can anyone tell me a site that i can get any co proxamol from thanks
Mandy,
I think your best bet would be offshore-pharma
or 247meds, the item is listed on the front page of 247meds as Dextro.
Chris
Hi i dont seem to be able to get on either of those sites im finding it really hard my e mail address is sandwichstop@yahoo.co.uk if anyone can send to there i would really appreciate this thanks
hi chris hows things have had a grandson whos one now so been really busy looking after him an my daughter have you been in touch with selina or pharma 2 u im still trying hope ur ok
Hi Cathy,
Nice to hear from you again, i have sent you e-mail to your previous address. I hope you are well.
Chris
Hi guys, i havent wrote in a while,
Russ, Anne chris, hope you guys still ok.
ive been busy doing other things, trying to find a source for Co Proxamol, but no luck,
i still hear peple are getting them from their GPs, and local chemists still supplying them.
i did manage to get feind;y with an asian chemist, and he sold me a few boxes, £40 a box, from time to time he will, when i take my other prescriptions to him for my diabetis tablets,
anyway i hear this forum as been very quiet of late, hope to hear from you soon ,
take care.
Nigel

Hi Nigel,

http://www.davidicke.com/

bye for now.
Hi Nigel,
Not sure now if you are getting my mail. I sent one Sunday evening. Not had any spam mail.
Chris
Hi Chris, i sent one yesterday, seems you didnt get it, my hotmail and many others were spammed, so before i sent any emails out i fixed the account and scanned for any further spyware, its clean so far, so no worries,
I will get in touch later in the week Chris, just having a few problems financialy, having to buy for the house.
ive not heard from Anne as yet?
Sorry Nigel never received any emails ….
Glad to hear you are well
Take care Nig x
Hi Anne, not to worry about the emails,
i think i got it sorted now,
nice to see Lyle is keeping this thread open for Co Proxamol, even though there is not so many of us now posting about it.
Hi All,
I hope you are all managing to get pain relief.
Chris – is that 24-7.com? I can’t see anything on there. Did come across a hysterical FDA warning against a 24/7 ‘scam’.
When I tell doctors I still take Co-prox they get pretty weird too and give me dire warnings! You’d think the rest of the world knew nothing about health and only the UK was resposible about drugs – which is pretty much the reverse of how things are.
I’ve been getting mine from Offshore who have always been excellent but it’s a bit worrying to have no ‘backup’ supplier in the event of them becoming unavailable there.
I’m terrified this forum disappears as I know of no other place to talk to fellow sufferers or exchange info.
Cheers,
Avril
Hi Avril,
The address for that one is 247medicines.com.
If you need anymore help or advice you can still get through on my old e-mail on post 466.
It’s good to hear from you again.
Chris
Many thanks for that Chris.
I think my own email ad is on here somewhere but I’ll put it again for anyone who may want it.

HI Avril, Hi room
can any one give me some advise?
i now have a prescription for co proxamol from my doctor, yippe cayee,
the problem is, the co proxamol im getting from the chemist are not very good,
they seem to be sub standered,, i know this, because the ones i was getting from Cypres where very good, and the old ones distalgesic before they where discontinued, very good also,
i have tried various chemist around town, but all co prox the same sub standered ones, any one know where i can exchange my script for better co prox?
i have looked on line , but they want cash as well as prescription, no chance.
i am just looking for better standeredd co prox.
Chris , i tried to email you, but my hotmail account keeps getting attacked, you still can email me but i dare not reply in case it as spam in it lol,i have another email out look express if you need it?
Hi Nigel,
I have sent you an e-mail. The few different makes of Co-prox that are available should all be made the same way as the brand Dista. I have not found any difference between them.
Chris
ok Chris im just going to check my email
Hi,
Has anybody noticed that P4U have now started selling co-proxamol but they are now charging £35 for only 50 tablets!
I must have missed them Tina because they aren’t listed on their website now. Has anyone had any luck with 247 Meds recently?
Hi where are you all, Anne , Chris Russ? others?
We are looking for DG Nig ,How about you ? how are you x
Hi Anne sorry with late reply, only ive been in out hospitol with acid reflux and gasstritus, and blood vomiting, apart from thsis ive been fine, still cannot find any co_prox 🙁 are you keeping ok Anne?, nice to hear from you.

Im not sure why last post didnt appear but Ive just posted a link to a blog/website ive set up detailing what I can offer. Ive been getting a few nasty emails etc – please stop sending them. Thanks (Click my name to see blog – I think thats how it works)
Folk beware!
I have had a report of James,of the above post, taking money and not delivering the goods. Not getting any reply to e-mails from him on this.
Does not sound good James, would you like to explain.
Can anyone help me get a regular supply of
Co-proxamol,Thanks.
I’m new to this site, but Ive been reading all of the above messages. Lets get Coproxamol back on the agenda. Is it worthwhile setting up a Facebook page? Thanks
hi all i managed to save loadsa co proxomol and mix it with supplies from the internet but the internet company i was getting the tablets from are now asking for a private script help!!! i have prolapsed disks, rhumatiod arthritus and fybromyalgia my GP has no idea i take coproxomol instead of the morphine which has no effect any help much app-reciated as at 36 years old i am too young to have the debilitating effects stoppping this drug would cause me to suffer!!!!
Luan,
Not sure what site you have been using, but Prescribe4u.org have some in stock at the moment, they have run out quite soon before.
I think they still just have an on line form to fill in.
my new practice head has just refused to proscribe co prox, before i was getting it by signing a disclaimer after 30 years, now iv’e been given co codamol its useless all the side effects and no pain relief
I have arthritis, spondylosis, collapsed discs and pain from a fractured spine. For ten years I was on Distalgesic and could manage the pain. Ever since they were withdrawn I have been moved from one painkiller to another. None work. I can find no doctors willing to risk scripting them. I am suicidal with pain, but apparently this is acceptable, as long as I don’t overdose on Distalgesic. I am allowed to overdose on the many other painkillers available. I cannot seem to find a reliable site online and probably couldn’t afford to keep buying them anyway.
Ive had scoliosis and degeneration of the spine..Ive been taking Digesic for prob 2 years now….2 in the morning is enough to help me thru the day..Tramil and Mobic do not work…Just beem informed by my Dr that Digesic is coming off the market…the only thing that work…dont undertsand how its a suicide drug….
I’ve had enough, life is hell since coproxamol stopped, GP is useless, pain unbearable .Ive had DVT(1999) PE(2004) so on warfarin which precludes many other drugs..How many paracetomol to make sure, I don.t want to be around any more.
Brian,
I havent been to this site for a while and just read your post. I got Distalgesic (Coproxamol) fairly recently from Prescribe4U.org and they seem to be still listing them.
Dont take a load of paracetamol – thats more likely to leave you still around but with additional health problems with liver etc.
(Hug) Avril
Well that is good to hear from one poster from the past on this forum. Good to see you are still out there Avril. How many others are still around, be would interesting to hear how they are getting on etc. Dg getting a bit tougher to get at the moment, including P4u, and stay clear of IC4u. They are not sending anything out at the moment.
Avril..…How recently did you receive co-proxamol from P4U? They’re advertising the generic form Cobradex on their site but with everything that has happened in the last few months I don’t really know if they have them in stock or not so any info would be helpful.
Thanks
Hi chris,
im still alive, still looking fo co proxamol, no luck though,
how are you?
yes it would be nice to hear from anne, russ, and the rest?
Really good to hear from you pill popper, i am good at the moment thanks. I am in touch with Anne, perhaps a few more will come back here now that it has become much harder to get Co prox at a sensible price. Only 247medicines seem to offer this now, i have not bought from them yet, but i think Customs are more of an issue now.
Chris
help, i can’t take anything else. they all leave me feeling sick, dizzy or drugged up. i have 4 kids to look after and the pain in my knees is unbearable. i haven’t had co prox in years but by good was it good. has anyone found an alternative??
just been to see the gp and have been really lucky to get a perscription for it. now just have to wait for it to come in. keep on the pressure and have an informed arguement. if your will to take the “risks” i think they should let more have it
