Has Disprin been discontinued?

Mr_Gordon_2

For headaches and minor pain relief we've always bought Disprin, just the standard soluble one in the blue packet. It's the only thing that ever worked for me when I had a really bad headache. I used to be able to buy it everywhere, but now it's all Disprin Extra. Have they just changed the name or has it been discontinued.

I know there's been various Disprin products around with words like Plus or Direct after the name but they were usually stronger or had other things in them.

I hope they haven't changed it too much.

Yes it's still available but you may have to ask at a chemist counter as it's not given room on display anymore. It doesn't sell that well due to the fact it's identical to soluble aspirin which costs about 35p compared to the branded disprin which costs £2+

I've have a look in there, thanks.

I used to just pick it up with the shopping at the supermarket but it's vanished from Morrisons and Tesco too in the past two months.

I'll try asking at the Chemist too. My local one never had it usually, or was sold out.
