Hello! Thanks for posting a review. Yes unfortunately Purilens is not available in drugstores, however, it is available in some other stores like Bed Bath & Beyond, so if you ever need to purchase locally you may want to contact them and see. Here's a list from the manufacturer's site: https://www.purilens.com/purilens_plus_BBB.html
Glad to find a place to buy my needed saline.

I've been using Purilens Plus for use with my PROSE lens since my PROSE lens Dr. Sotomayor,
formerly with Bascom Palmer Eye Inst., recommended it to me from my first visit with her
4 years ago.

I use this as a filler for my hybrid ultra health FC contact lenses to insert. I have had great wear without issues with this product. So glad it was available to replace Unisol 4. NOTE FROM REBECCA: Thanks for posting! It's been 2.5 years and I'm still mourning the loss of Unisol, but like you thankful the Purilens company could step into their shoes. - Rebecca
