Hi,
I order my Prelief at Walmart through the pharmacy. (I live in Ohio). I've also ordered it at our grocery pharmacy too.

If you can't get it in your town, then maybe you can order it off the net? That was what I was going to do until I thought about asking the pharmacist. They do it for me and I don't have to pay shipping! I also use Remebrant toothpaste for Canker Sore sufferes and I have the pharmacy order that as well.

Hope this helps.!

I think you can order it through the prelief website, also. I stocked up when I went to Walgreen's in Chicago since I can't get Prelief around here!!

Maybe like drugstore.com has it too?

Hi,

RiteAid carries Prelief in my area. It is another place for you to check.

My husband orders for me from Walgreens - which is much cheaper then buying it online. I usually buy it a Meijers Store - they have tons of it stocked on the shelves. You can also get it online.
Good luck!
Take Care!

Unfortunately, the only place I can find it is Walgreens as well. I also tried Walmart, but they said they wouldn't order it for me. So I travel 1/2 hour to get it from walgreens.. it is so worth it, and I don't have to pay the shipping and handling

Hi:

Just wanted you know that there is no reason WalMart cannot order Prelief 120 tablets for you from their distributor, McKesson Drug. If the pharmacist is having a problem, please give me the information (store location, pharmacist name, etc) and we will look into the it. Meanwhile, any pharmacy can special order Prelief for you. Additionally, all RiteAids, Walgreens, Publix, Meijer and Eckerd Drugs should have it on the shelf with the antacids. You can also purchase Prelief quite reasonably at www.costco.com (http://www.costco.com) and www.drugstore.com. (http://www.drugstore.com.)

If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.....

betty the walmart I had the problem was the Walmart in Mount Olive New Jersey.. not sure of the number, but they said they will no longer have it delivered there.. I asked them to order it, they did and then the distributer said they won't do it...

Do you have an Albertsons Market or Savon Drugs near you? Those are the only other two places other than Rite Aid that are near me where I get my Prelief from.

K-Mart orders it for me. ($10.58 per 120) All I had to do was talk to the pharmacist about keeping a supply of it in for me. You can usually always find it stocked on Walgreen's shelves, too.

Shopko carries it in my town. I am surprised more stores don't carry it....

Rite Aid in the Cleveland, Ohio area has Prelief. Lately I've tried drinking baking soda and water and I think I works better. Put it in a wine glass and it won't taste so bad. wink

I buy my prelief at Walgreen's and also order it online.

Sometimes, they offer it to me at a special price, called a "diamond deal". These sales are typically specific to something you ordered in the past.

Darlene and BeaF:

Our Sales Department is checking into the problem at your Bloomington, Illinois WalMart and I will
get back to you.

I contacted the Mt Olive, NJ WalMart and the pharmacist told me that Prelief was in the computer and could be ordered. Please let me know if you continue to have a problem.

Betty, it's the Bloomingdale, not Bloomington store that can't order the prelief.

Sorry, I meant Bloomingdale and typed Bloomington.
It is the Bloomingdale WalMart (for which you provided the address and telephone number) that our Sales Department is looking into.

The only place I can find it is Osco Drug. Good luck, because I know if Osco stopped carrying it, I would be in trouble!!

Dear ashmc:

In Indiana, Prelief is available at Walgreens, RiteAid, and Medicap Phamacy, as well as Osco: it is also available at Meijer (who sells Prelief at a substantial discount).

Hi Betty,

When I went to order the prelief at the walmart in mount olive, they ordered it for me, and said it would be in in a few days.. when I went to pick it up there response was, "The distributer will not supply this anymore" not sure if he said demand reasons or what.

Thank you for your help.

Hi!

Well, our Sales Department checked with McKesson
Drug Co, the distributor who services all WalMart stores. They assured us that they have a quantity of Prelief in stock and there is no reason the pharmacist cannot get it. I can only suggest that you try another WalMart - or ask the pharmacist (who is telling you he can't get it from the distributor) to contact McKesson Customer Support.

Thank you Betty.

I was just trying to keep you informed, for I was upset when I couldn't order it from the closest pharmacy to me.

Thank you again for all your help.

Hi--I have been using prelief--I found you can get it in bulk of 300 tabs. I get it at my local pharmacy--however for some odd reason--Walmart doesnt carry it here in my town--I get it at Rite Aid--most times--seems to be helping me--I am leary cause I have suffered for so long hard to believe that this can work--they did well with lactaid and beano--imagine prelief working and stopping my burning--so far shhhhhhhh so good--thanks Cathy wink

If you scroll to the top of this page and click on the Prelief logo, you'll be transported to the site where you can order it.

I have only been able to find it at Walgreens and Rexall Pharmacies in Kansas. No Wal-Marts.

Thank you, I live in a very small town. I am going to have to order it.

Is Prelief something that goes in your food, or is it something you take?

prbetty
04-09-2004, 03:11 AM
Hi!

Prelief is available in powder form which is added to food and beverages (and removes acid) prior to consumption. The powder is not recommended for soda or wine as it will flatten it. The tablets are taken with the food and remove the acid after/while the food is consumed.

The stores only carry Prelief tablets because they are much more popular. They are more convenient, more portable and more economical. However the powder is available online at www.prelief.com, www.vnfnutrition.com, and www.vitaminlady.com.

Hope this is helpful.....

I ordered prelief from the Bloomingdale, Il walmart 2 days ago. Again, it did not come. They are going to try ordering it again, but I don't have too much hope of success. Can you help?

Darlene:

I just spoke to Larry (Pharmacist) at your Walmart. He was familiar with Prelief and says he has been ordering it for someone named Wayne.

You can call and ask for him or you can talk to any of the associates; tell them you want the 120 tablet bottle of Prelief. You can also give them the order number (which would be helpful according to Larry) which is #191-4357. Tell them that this is the number that they will need to Special Order from McKesson Drug Co.

I am from Canada. Has anyone been able to buy prelief in Canada? I have tried Walmart and Cosco in Canada with no success.

I don't live in Canada, but know you can get it online from Costco. I think that's the most reasonable. You can also get it directly from the makers of Prelief.

Good Luck!
