Kaolin and Morphine

[Maureen1958]

Does anyone know if you can still get Kaolin and Morphine in the UK, and if so where from?

Hi Maureen

I've just had a look and have found this:

chemist-4-u.com/care-kaolin...

Hope this helps.

Take care

Thanks Alicia, but they are out of stock as are all of the other on-line sites I've tried. I think they just don't make it anymore. I will ask my doctor if they have access to any but I am not going to hold my breath. Maureen.

Typical. I remember Kaolin and Morphine very well. Have you thought about asking your local pharmacy(pharmacies)?

[Maureen1958 in reply to Hidden]

I could get my husband to ask, I'm not really going out at all at the moment.

[Hidden in reply to Maureen1958]

I'm sorry you're not going out much at the moment and hope that your husband can find some for you. I see that BabsyWabsy has mentioned the Collis Brown's Mixture, I also remember this one so definitely worth a try.

Take care

My Mum used to always keep Collis Brown's Mixture in her medicine cupboard. If you scroll down the page Alicia has highlighted , you will see it and it is in stock.

Thanks BabsyWabsy, I'll take a look.

What's in it?

[BabsyWabsy in reply to Suecoo66]

The active ingredients are morphine hydrochloride and peppermint oil.

its been stopped in the UK because of the morphine content, sadly it will be hard now to buy any. I alays used to use it if I had a bad tummy I swore by it but now it's stopped Boots were the last checmist to stock it and now they are not stocking it either xx

[Maureen1958 in reply to Pat9]

I suspected that was the case. Very grateful for your reply. Many thanks.

[Pat9 in reply to Maureen1958]

it is a shame as it was very good

[Maureen1958 in reply to Pat9]

Yes, I used to take it on bad days (when I eventually escaped from the toilet) when my son was little.

Sorry but morphine is now a controlled drug.

Sorry to be a naysayer but please read this dire warning by NICE before you buy any more Kaolin and Morphine bnf.nice.org.uk/drug/kaolin...

[Suecoo66]

I used to buy kaolin and calcium carbonate tablets from Savers but they've been stopped. Nobody seems to be selling anything with Kaolin in now.

I used to buy it from my local chemist but I had to ask for it and sign a book, not had to use it for a couple of years so not sure if the rules have changed..
