Customer Question

I understand that proglumide, whatever that is can help reverse adaptation to opoid pain killers. I am scripted a certain amount but this seems to be doing less and less. I just dont want to sound like an idiot when I talk to my doc (next month). I hear proglumide helps reverse the acclimsation. Is there anything else that would make my meds work like they are supposed to again?

Also, is proglumide a scheduled drug? Can I buy it off the net like a suppliment or do I need a script from my doc?

Not sure what proglumide is. <-------------

Drugdad :

Theoretical, it can do that but it is mainly an IV drug

Customer :

so this is a script drug not a suppliment?

Customer :

is is avail in pill form what is it for?

Drugdad :

It has FDA approval for IV

Customer :

only IV?

Drugdad :

but not for the pill

Customer :

Drugdad :

yes, not legit

Customer :
