Ru-Tuss (atropine / chlorpheniramine / hyoscyamine / pseudoephedrine / scopolamine) for Sinus Symptoms "Rutuss has worked better than anything I’ve ever used over the years. When I get swollen nasal membranes I end up with fluid in my ears with vertigo. When I felt it coming on I could stop the fluid in my ears in its tracks with Rutuss. Just took it when I had post nasal drainage & ear problem. Nothing else OTC works now. It’s a waste of money. Please bring Ru-Tuss back"

Ru-Tuss (atropine / chlorpheniramine / hyoscyamine / pseudoephedrine / scopolamine) for Sinus Symptoms "Occasionally, I have itchy, watery eyes and runny nose. I used to take Ru-Tuss tablets long ago, but cannot get it anymore. It is the ONLY medicine that I have ever taken that dries up my running eyes and nose. For the last several years, I have not been able to get it. My physician nor pharmacies can get the drug for some reason."

Ru-Tuss (atropine / chlorpheniramine / hyoscyamine / pseudoephedrine / scopolamine) for Sinus Symptoms "I agree with all of you! I've been suffering for many years with this and it's removed from the market. I wrote FDA asking why they removed rutuss and response the company didn't resubmit it for approval in 2011 :( ;("

Ru-Tuss (atropine / chlorpheniramine / hyoscyamine / pseudoephedrine / scopolamine) for Sinus Symptoms "I don't understand why this medicine has been taken off the market. For people like us, it was one of the only medicines that was strong enough to help with really bad allergy days. My dad and I took it for years. I recently talked to a doctor about getting more since my supply is finally dwindling and he mentioned something about how this crosses the blood-brain barrier and that's why you get sleepy if you take too much.

Ru-Tuss (atropine / chlorpheniramine / hyoscyamine / pseudoephedrine / scopolamine) for Sinus Symptoms "Loved this drug. If it is so effective and now hard to find and much sought after then please bring it back in its original potency. Everything in the drug store for sinus DOES NOT WORK. I've been wasting a lot of money on products that don't work. Bring back what does work as needing a prescription PLUS patient must have a documented chronic sinus condition"

Respa-AR (atropine / chlorpheniramine / hyoscyamine / pseudoephedrine / scopolamine) for Sinus Symptoms "I started having cold, flu, and allergy symptoms by January 2017. Suddenly these symptoms did not go away but aggravated to the point that I had to see many doctors to relieve these symptoms and used expensive medications up to $ 400.00 each. The diagnosis from all my doctors was "persistent cough" due to allergy. For five months I followed their instruction, took the medications religiously but I had to stop them because they did not cure the symptoms and in some cases the side effects were worst. What was the only medication that cured the symptoms? RESPA AR!!!!!. I filled and refilled a prescription on May 8, 2009. Since it is the only medication that cures my allergy symptoms I keep it like gold. I informed my doctors about this."

Ru-Tuss (atropine / chlorpheniramine / hyoscyamine / pseudoephedrine / scopolamine) for Sinus Symptoms "I used to use this, only thing I could use to help my sinus drainage and the itchy watery eyes. Really helped my inner ear symptoms by drying up the sinus drainage but the pharmacy can't obtain it anymore switched me to Q-Tuss which is similar but then switched me to Sta-hist which was also similar. Now all 3 are nowhere to be found and I can't get any relief for my symptoms with the other meds they recommend."

Respa-AR (atropine / chlorpheniramine / hyoscyamine / pseudoephedrine / scopolamine) for Sinus Symptoms "Have become immune to most other allergy medicines, but Respa-AR works amazingly for my allergy symptoms! My pharmacist says they're not making it anymore which is sad, because now, I'll go back to suffering from allergy symptoms not well controlled."

Respa-AR (atropine / chlorpheniramine / hyoscyamine / pseudoephedrine / scopolamine) for Sinus Symptoms "OMG! Not making it anymore, why? It is a wonderful drug for allergy sufferers. Nothing else helps me! I can even eat things I am allergic to and not re-act when I take this. The only downside is it does make my throat very dry, but I don't take. I'd rather have that then the allergy symptoms."

Respa-AR (atropine / chlorpheniramine / hyoscyamine / pseudoephedrine / scopolamine) for Sinus Symptoms "The most effective medicine for my allergy symptoms due to spring pollen induced coughing and drainage. I've tried them all for 50 years and nothing works as well. I am shocked that such a fabulous medicine has been pulled. Respa stops the undesirable coughing and drainage and that horrible raspy tickle in my lungs like none other. There is no reason to pull it. It has special combination of ingredients no other medicine has. For instance,the Belladonna. It knocks out the problem symptoms in 3 or 4 days! Last spring I only took 2 doses and was back to breathing with no other medicines involved. "

Respa-AR (atropine / chlorpheniramine / hyoscyamine / pseudoephedrine / scopolamine) for Sinus Symptoms "I am very unhappy that Respa AR will no longer be available. I have allergies to dust mites and some pollens, and have constant drainage down my throat. I take shots, but before finding Respa AR I had to quit even singing in choir due to the constant need to clear my throat. I have tried all the over the counter medicines and other scripts, but nothing works. I think the belladonna is the difference, and it is not available even by script unless you need it in a seizure medicine. Not going to be fun for some of us."

Ru-Tuss (atropine / chlorpheniramine / hyoscyamine / pseudoephedrine / scopolamine) for Sinus Symptoms "Took it as a teen in the ‘70’s. Prevented sinus infections and cured hay fever/ allergies. When I moved to Calif my Dr said they didn’t have it and he’d have to give me lots of medicines to match it. Now that I’m back in Oklahoma, allergies have returned. Sad to hear it’s not available anymore."

Ru-Tuss (atropine / chlorpheniramine / hyoscyamine / pseudoephedrine / scopolamine) for Sinus Symptoms "Ru-Tuss tablets were removed from the market when BASF purchased Boots Pharmaceuticals in the 1990s. The VP of Knoll Pharmaceutical, a subsidiary of BASF, didn't like the product and forbade further manufacturing. It was a very effective product, but the margins weren't great since it wasn't a patented drug."
