Important Petition for the Food Allergies Community
by Christine Robinson
March 17, 2010
Christine Robinson invites people to sign the petition to lobby GlaxoSmithKline to produce Piriton Syrup (chlorphenamine maleate) in 5 ml sachets.
This petition is to lobby GlaxoSmithKline to produce Piriton Syrup (chlorphenamine maleate) in 5 ml sachets.
GlaxoSmithKline have in previous years stated there was no demand for sachet production.
Due to the vast amount of allergy sufferers who are required to carry Piriton with them at all times, I believe this is not the case and there is in fact a very large demand.
When contacted by the Anaphylaxis Campaign in early 2008 to say they had received a number of calls and emails over the years from people asking for the availability of Piriton Syrup in sachet form, the response from GlaxoSmithKline was that they also had a similar number of enquiries and they were investigating the possibility of producing sachets. They also suggested that the more requests they received the more likely it would be that the sachets would be produced!
Requests by individuals have received a similar response, with GlaxoSmithKline replying that they were reviewing the suggestion to launch Piriton Syrup in sachets but it required intensive investigation and would not be an option they would be able to launch in the immediate future. This was over two years ago!
Ms Christine Robinson, the author of the petition, will be submitting this petition to GlaxoSmithKline on behalf of all the people who would like to see this product available for our use.
