At our surefine grocery in Wis., I was able to buy from TopCare: pain relief..500mg, extra strength, 100 tablets, acetaminophen. I can't find that brand store and asked if someone could help me.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,

I am sorry you are having trouble finding the brand you like. I do not believe we have any doctors from the XXXXXXX area of XXXXXXX but will suggest a couple of things:

What you are looking for, Extra Strength Acetaminophen 500 mg, is sold at all pharmacies. It may not be the TopCare brand of extra strength acetaminophen, but you will find the same strength of the drug. I think the products, as long as they are specifically Acetaminophen Extra Strength 500 mg, will be interchangeable.

If you feel that only XXXXX formulation of it is acceptable, then I would suggest you contact the XXXX company directly. They may be willing to sell you the product you are looking for via mail, as acetaminophen 500 mg does not require a prescription. Alternatively, they may be able to help you find a store/pharmacy near you that carries their brand. Here is some contact information:

XXXX
You can go to the "contact" tab at the top right and try to get ahold of them.

Good luck to you.
