I am on social security disability. My wonderful companion cat has been on alternagel. Now I can’t get unless I have it compounded which costs $22.00 for 8 days worth. No way can I afford this. Is the product coming back. I can’t stand the thought of having to put my cat down. She is all I have. Patricia Davis
yes – there are other generic brands out there. Walmart or Target pharmacies will oreder it for you.
My Vet told me that the other products have some additives in them that are not safe to give my cat with kidney disease. Who can I believe. Do you have any references regarding cats and these products. My cat needs higher does now and the price is $26.00 for about 1 1/2 inches of the liquid. It is just over the top. Patricia
is there a clear answer on when mylanta is coming back? there is no other product that works for my stomach. Alcohol is in many medications. Why is this such a big issue?? for it to be gone this long.
Jeez, the burning is unbearable. I don’t want to return to taking pills for acid reflux. They have long term side effects. Bone deterioration. Please bring back alternagel!
