Luckyandrelieved on mymigrianeconnection.com told me about this Midrid. Has anyone else tried this? I'm looking for replacement for The Midrin Family when I run out. Checking around for other Migraine relief.

I followed up on this product, and here's what I found out...
It is against U.S. law to import into the country any drug that is not FDA approved for sale in the U.S. Therefore, buying this drug and importing it into thr U.S. is illegal. You might get away with it, you might not. If it's discovered in a customs sweep, it will be seized, and you may well be out whatever you paid for it.
Sorry, but since it's illegal, it's also not a topic that can be discussed further here.

Evidently, it (a Midrin-look alike) can be compounded by a licensed pharmacist upon a MD's specific request. I'm still waiting to hear from the FDA about the legality of that. bit it's been done for me. The FDA's representative did say the FDA would address the "compounding" issue.

Bill,
That is entirely different. If you doctor gives you a prescription to have Isometheptene Mucate USP, 65 mg, Dichloralphenazone USP, 100 mg, and Acetaminophen USP, 325 mg compounded into capsules, that's completely legal.

Bill,
Did you find anything out on getting it compounded?!
tmarie,
Quite a few people are getting Midrin equivalent medication at compounding pharmacies. Your doctor needs to give you a prescription with the exact amounts of the ingredients - Isometheptene Mucate USP, 65 mg, Dichloralphenazone USP, 100 mg, and Acetaminophen USP, 325 mg.
Hope this helps,
Teri
