why are they no longer selling Titralac in stores

My husband and I have been taking Titralac for years. I believe since it came out on the market. Now all of a sudden there is no store in Des Moines IA, that sells it. Please tell me why it has been pulled off the shelves, and the pharmacy says they can't even order it. It the next best thing to a prescription, which I can't afford.

Thank you in advance

Sharon Raitt


Agreed



I don't understand why they are removing it either. I use Prilosec but use Titralac as an extra boost when eating extra spicy foods. I finally talked my husband into using it after years of him using Tums. HE EATS THOSE THINGS! Two Titralac cured his prob's... He has used one bottle and now they are gone! NOT JUST IN KANSAS... EVERYWHERE... MO, PA, NJ and KS... We've been told they are no longer manufacturing them. WHY WHY WHY?? These things are BETTER than an RX! Very good price to boot... I have also noticed they haven't advertised these pills for YEARS so maybe they weren't selling them as they would like... ADVERTISE!! BRING THEM BACK! What will we do without them as we have tried everything SUPPOSEDLY comparable and they are not NEAR AS GOOD!
Thanks,
Smiles

Titralac GONE!???



My family has used Titralac for over 40 years... ONLY thing that really works and we have done many prescriptions. We always got these at Wal-Mart here in Tulsa, OK. Titralac Plus was what they carried... awesome price. Usually bought two bottles every month. So on this Christmas eve... thought I might stock up for all the guests! To my surprise NO ONE at the pharmacy's or Wal-Mart had any answers. Here in Tulsa they were available nearly everywhere. Today... after 4 Wal-Marts, Walgreens, Target, even Sears here carried it!!! They are off the store shelves. I understand they were now being made in Australia. I don't care where they are made! I NEED Titralac!!!! This isn't right! I found a bottle this evening on Ebay for $249. So this stuff must really be gone! WAAAAH!

Titralac No Long Made



Titralac is no longer made. I called 3M and they said they stopped production of Titralac in October 2012.

Stores are just selling what they have in inventory. I have seen a lot of bottles on the Internet selling for $64 and one bottle was listed at $5,999. I assume these prices are set by some goofy "supply & demand models" that spew out prices that bring supply into line with demand. Since there is no supply, the price rises astronomically as people search for the product.

I gave the customer rep at 3M an "earful" to pass back to the Marketing Department who made this decision. The customer reps are taking comments and funneling them to the appropriate channels, they say. If you want to complain OR BETTER YET, start a campaign to bring back this wonderful OTC antacid, call 800-537-2191.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a substitute?

No more Titralac?



When I was in Walmart in December 2012 to buy a couple of bottles, I had to ask a pharmacy assistant where they had moved the Titralac. She finally found them on a clearance shelf. I knew that was a bad sign so I bought 9 bottles. Nothing has ever come close to giving me the relief that Titralac does. It is one of the best products of any kind that has ever been on the market in all of modern history. Whenever I ingest caffeine from any source, it gives me indigestion. I take 3 Titralac and the indigestion is gone instantly. Why would they do this to the millions of us who have no other solution?

Titralac gone



Thank you for posting the number to 3M. I will be calling them this week. They will get an earful from me too. Titralac is the only antacid that works. I've tried every one on the market - including the 2 nexium that I have been taking every day for the past 4 years.

Re: why are they no longer selling Titralac in stores



I'm sitting at my computer with an empty Titralac bottle in my hand. The active ingredients are, very simply, Calcium Carbonate (420 mg) and Simethicone (21 mg). I'd think any OTC antacid AND antigas medication would fill the bill. It may be, the reason one could take Titralac "as needed", was because the dosage was so small. (I also have a bottle of Koeger's Multi Symptom Antacid Tablets Chewables next to me, and the active ingredients are Calcium Carbonate 675 mg, Simethicone 60 mg, PLUS Magnesium Hydroxide 135 mg.)

Titralac Plus



I have been using Titralac Plus ever since it came on the market. in other words, many years. I worked in an independent pharmacy for 24 years and Titralac was a big seller over the other OTC antacids. It is low in sodium, which I like because I have high blood pressure and it is very effective for my heartburn and indigestion. It is fast acting and pleasant tasting. I have searched every pharmacy and department store in my town looking for Titralac but it has disappeared from the shelves. I looked on line and was shocked when I saw the prices of Titralac. I refuse to pay the online prices but I don't want to buy the other OTC antacids since I don't think they are effective. PLEASE bring Titralac & Titralac Plus back to the retail stores and the prices that we used to pay!!!!!!!!

Titralac



I also have been using Titralac for years. It has always worked. I use it frequently even for nausea, when I know my stomach isn't "right." I never found TUMS to be at all useful. Gaviscon was great, but I didn't like taking something with aluminium in the ingredients! I'm calling 3M to voice my opinion. Thanks for the number.

Titralac GONE? Are you Kidding?



I finally got my husband to take Titralac because it worked. It is low in sodium and contains very little aluminum. This stuff works, even when I have eaten the best I can. It's the best for High blood pressure. The spearmint flavor was awesome and did the trick.

This is sad. I know it was made in Australia for 3M company and distributed in St. Paul MN. The address and Phone Number is right on the bottle. I finally realized the last time I bought this product that there was something wrong because I bought everything off the shelf. Then I went back and it was not restocked.

I know things come and things go, but this product worked better than Tums, of any other antacid on the market. It just flat works and my digestive system calms right down within hours.

I vote to bring it back. And I will keep researching until I find the company to write to and really beg to bring it back.

Very sad in Missouri

The Very Best is Gone?????



I a number one fan of Titralac Plus. Please bring it back. I agree with everyone's post this is the best antacid ever. With that being said I just wonder who paid 3M "not to manufacture" Titralac. Guess I may have an advantage over many here in the States because my daughter lives in Australia.

Bring it back! !



I am very upset, as well as my parents that titralac has been discontinued. I don't like Tums or Rolaids, but titralac was the best. It helped with nausea and indigestion. Please bring it back. We woud buy 2/3 bottles at a time.

Titralac Gone



I have looked everywhere in town and no one carries Titralac. I was suprised to find out it is no longer being manufactured. Of course if something works for some reason (money) it is discontinued. My husband & I both have used it for years. He takes priolsec daily but uses titralac for fast releif. I have high blood pressure so it is great because of the low sodium. Please bring it back as it works and very affordable for those of us who cannot afford prescriptions.

Very disappointed



I have been using Titralac as a phosphate binder because I am on dialysis. It was a good solution instead of having to get a prescription for a renal drug phosphate binder. I was able to get some off the internet last year but now I need more and can't find it anywhere. 3M needs to start making it and distributing it again!

Use simethicone



Just buy cheap generic simethicone and a soft anti-acid and you are back in business

Where Is the Titralac Plus?



Please put Titralac Plus back on the market ! It's the only thing that works for me. It will stop indigestion and heart burn, and gas quickly. I have been using it ever since I had an ulcer in the third grade. That's been over 40 years ago ! If anyone knows how to get it from Australia, please advise! Apparently 3M doesn't care about it's customers here in the U.S. Go figure!

I have been taking Titralac since the 70's. My Doctor at the time told me about it. I have told many others about how quickly it works. Please bring it back

Please bring Titralac back



Titralac was prescribed for me many years ago after surgery by my doctor. I have continued to use it following every other surgery that I've had. I also use it when I get that extreme burning heart burn it feels as if I'm having a heart attack. although I take prilosec everyday nothing works for that burning and that tightness as wwell as Titralac. I have recommended it to friends who also recommended to ever friends. there is nothing like it on the market. please bring it back for those of us that depend on it and really need it.

titralac



I am just as disappointed as everyone else but to see it on sale on the internet from $130.00 and up for 100 tablets is highway robbery. Shame on the people who would make that kind of money from people who need this item.

I too have searched drug stores and box stores for Titralac and been disappointed! Was the market too small? I know of several people in my area that are searching also.

This doesn't make sense!



This doesn't add up. Titralac was the best thing on the market & a lot of people remain dependent on it like myself. Nothing else compares & I've tried them all. I called 3M & was only told "it was a marketing decision." So let me get this straight: the #1 product for its purpose was taken off the market due to a marketing decision? The only thing that makes sense to me is there had to be a pay off.

Bring Titrilac back to WalMart



I have been using Titrilac since the early 1980's. There is nothing and I mean nothing else in the world that works for me or my husband. I kept a bottle in my car, purse, home, Summer home, and my job. I was sharing them with people. If I had known they were going to be taken off the market I would have been selfish and kept them to myself. Why have they been discontinued? I checked on line and the prices are just plain criminal. Have you removed them because of the demand and know you can make another large fortune off the unfortunate? I certainly hope someone will take the time from the company that makes them and respond to my question.

I have Crohn's Disease & High blood Pressure



I have Crohn's disease and high blood pressure and have been taking Titralac for over 30 years to alleviate my digestive problems and pain. It has always worked for and has no side effects, which I do not need. All prescription and other over the counter anti-acids have not worked for me and some prescriptions have caused bad side effects. I'm very sad to find that it has been discontinued and would gladly campaign to bring it back on the market at an affordable price as it was in the past. This is the way of the financial market now, if it is too good and doesn't cost a lot, then is discontinued even if it is in demand. There is more money to be made by selling prescriptions and other expensive remedies. Very, very sad!!

Titrilac



The only way to get through to 3M is to boycott their other products. Titrilac has been the best for years.

Bummed that titralac is gone.



Really bummed that titralac is gone. I, like everyone else have been searching high and low to find it and finally today decided that I would go online to see if it was pulled off the market for some good reason. It's gone but no good reason is given. This has been my go-to stomach medication when nothing else would work. I had bottles everywhere. They were in my purse, car, camper, fishing tackle box, desk at work, desk at home, next to my bed, in the bathroom and kitchen and in the livingroom. It worked awesome. I can probably make something up similar but why should I when this was such a good product. 3M Bring it back, please!
Thank you,
Buffy

Someone will get rich off of this



I will surely be giving 3M a reason to use the product that they have chosen to stop producing. It's sure strange to me why MOST of the old standbys for antacids have been removed from the shelves and are no longer available. Could it be that the companies are going to wait for awhile and then come back on the market with smaller quantities in their bottles and charge more money for the same? This sounds exactly like big business to me. Even though I am sure that some of the execs who work at 3M feel the same as us, they are but voice.
No more Mylanta, no more Titralac, no more Win-gel, no more ???
Tums, Rolaids? What a joke. These are nothing more than candy.
Why must we suffer?, surely there are people out there that have the ability to see this market for what it is and will , sooner rather than later, step up and, even if they double the price of the old product, give us the relief we all seek.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU CALL THE NUMBERS ABOVE.
Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Re: why are they no longer selling Titralac in stores



Just got off the phone with a rep and they have no p[lans to remarket the product. I asked that she pass along the idea of selling the formula and process to someone as the need is here. She said she would. So IF 3M won't give us what we want and need, maybe there are others out there who could pick up the product and give us what we need. I'm sure that the number here are just a small amount of the people who suffer with the antacid stomachs, acid indigetstion and other forms that Titralc has shown to give relief too, and seeing as this isn't the only antacid that has been removed in the last few years, someone will surely come up with a new choice (name) for this wonderful relief we all need.

I agree, Bring it Back



I was very discouraged to hear that Titralac was no longer available, I have searched and searched but have been unable to find any except on Amazon for 129.94.....This has worked for me for many years so I called the 3m to complain and they said that is was the marketing Dept that did it....so call and complain and maybe we can get it back, the number is 800-537-2191 call and complain please. This is a great short term med with no aluminum which is in all the other otc products.

Say It Ain't So!



Titralac is gone? I'm stunned. I was told to use it by my nephrologist. I'm in End Stage Renal Failure (ESRF) and was told it causes certain chemicals to bind together which might slow the deterioration of my kidney function. I can't believe it's gone! I'm a very small 3M shareholder and Titralac was in large part the reason I bought the shares I have. Feels like a shot to my heart.
