Finding Prelief in Michigan?
I went looking for Prelief, and I can't find it. I asked at a Pharmacy counter an they had no idea what I was talking about. Anybody know of any places that would have it?

If you click on the Prelief link to the left of these messages, they can tell you where you can find it in your area. Walgreens used to carry it in their stores, but I don't know if they still do. I get mine at our local grocery store in the antacid section.

Hi,
I don't know about Michigan but here in Maryland I had trouble finding it at first. The I looked in Walgreens and they had it, then I also found it in Rite Aid as well. It is kind of hidden in with antacids, milk of magnesia and that kind of stuff, to make it a little harder to spot it is packaged in one of those hanging card with the plastic bubble type packages and the bottle is really small.
So check the big chains and look around a bit because it is a one off item it blends in with all the big named multiple variety products.-
Symptoms: started July 2007
New pain medication regimen has things under pretty good control for many weeks now. Exercise and eating healthy along with pain control have given me new life.
Current Symptoms: pain in testicles, penis and general groin area. Other discomfort that is beyond pain, a maddening crazed feeling that defies description. New pain medication has most symptoms under good control.
Frequency and urgency was a problem the first year or so but frequency is normal now.
Diagnosed: Prostatitis first then IC by Cysto/Hydro
Current Meds: Hydroxyzine 25mg 3 x day, Pyridium 200mg 3 x day (off 3-4 days on 3-4 days), Oxycodone, Norvasc (BP).
Past medications and treatments:
Protatitis and IC diet strict for 6 months, no change. Still watch diet although nothing seems to help or make worse. Have tried reverse, ate lemons to see if worse but no change at all.
Meds tried - Amitriptyline, Detrol, Flomax, Cipro, Doxycycline. many other antibiotics, Uroxatrol, Vicoprofen, Elmiron (6 months at $320 mo nothing), Aloe, Cysprotek, Glucosamine, Marshmallow, various oils, tons more stuff to strange and numerous to recount. Hydrodistension for diagnostic was horrible for two weeks after I was sure I must be going to die because nothing could feel that way and let you live.

You can buy it here in the ICN shop. I now get it at Walgreens, Wegman's, or ask my local pharmacy (Rite Aid) to order it for me.

What is Prelief? How well does it work? I used to live in Mich and found UofM urology in Ann Arbor to be really helpful in treating this condition.

Prelief is a medication that you take immediately before eating and it helps neutralize the acid in the food you are eating.
