Hi Terri,
I had been getting Diacetazone Capsules as a sub for Midrin, and now the pharmacist has changed to Epidrin. Both have worked fine for me.

When I was taking "midrin" I was always told the brand was not available, that's been years. It's been 5 years since I've been able to take any version because the capsules are too large for me to swallow.
I have been able to get a generic for
midrin: ISOMETH/DICH/APAP capsules.
If you match these abbreviations with the
three components (for midrin) that Teri Roberts
posted, you'll see how the name was
derived.

I alternate my abortive Treximet with Midrin, well, the generic version. This has been my routine for the past year or so. I wonder how they can still make the generic if the one ingredient is hard to come by. Will check with my pharmacist next time I refill, interesting article.
Hi, Lisa,
As I understand it, the shortage has been resolved and had nothing to do with Caraco's decision to stop making Midrin.
Glad you found this helpful.
