Buro Sol Discontinued? (Page 3)

Updated

I went to my pharmacy today here in Canada to be told that Smith Kline Glaxo is no longer making Buro Sol. Is this the case and, if it is, what are my alternatives?

thankyou so much I'm going to be contacting this pharmacy in Waterloo and see if they will make some up for me. It is the only thing that works for me when I get a flare up. Thankyou again

You can find domeboro in the united states. It works just as well as Burosol if not even better.

Carol,

The pharmacist is Phil Hudson at Beechwood Wellness Pharmacy in Waterloo Ontario. We had asked him to make this up for our patients in a powder form. This keeps the cost down. . He makes us small packages for $2.00 each and puts them in small ziploc like bags and gives the concentrations on the package so you know how to mix it up. Our patients were finding it cost prohibitive when they went to the pharmacy to buy it already premixed but for $2.00 a package its doable. You can make it up to what ever concentration you like. This summer I used one package to 8 ounces of water and just used a washcloth soaked in the fluid on my father in laws shingles. It dried up within a week.

Thanks Adrian! I'm forwarding my concerns (begging for some BuroSol basically) too....on behalf of all us dermatillomaniacs, there's no replacement, nothing at all comparable, and I've tried every one of them almost.

Yes, the powder is mixed with water and used as a wash for irritations on the skin - works wonders. I too am finding it difficult to locate.
Anyone know of anywhere in Durham Region who carries it? - no Shoppers in Oshawa or Whitby.

pharmacist Phil Hudson at Beechwood Wellness Pharmacy in Waterloo Ontario will compound this for you.. We had asked him to make this up for our patients in a powder form. This keeps the cost down. .

You can make it up to what ever concentration you like. You can order and he will mail it to you.

I just used Domeboro, had to buy it in the states from cvs but worked just like burosol powder. I was suffering badly before I found the Domeboro powder. Such a relief there's an alternative.

Hello, Burosol has been reintroduced as dermburo (dermtek.com/products/dermoburo.html) and can be purchased or at least ordered at any pharmacy in Canada.

There is now something very similar called Dermburo. Box looks very similar to the buro Sol box and comes in the packets (you have to mix with water) just like burosol. I saw it in shoppers drug mart for 21. 99 which was the same price as the burosol use to be in shopper's drug mart.

In Canada you are right: dermtek.com/products/dermburo.html

I know this is an old thread, but if you are still looking, an exact replacement is called "Dermburo" and it is sold at Shoppers Drug Mart in Ontario. Contact the manufacturer and ask where you can buy it in your area:

dermtek.com/products/dermburo.html

The two ingredients listed will bond together chemically in water to produce the Aluminum Acetate that was the ingredient in Buro-sol.

Hope this helps!

If you live in Canada, Shoppers Drug Mart sells Dermburo. Contact the manufacturer for other distributors in your area: dermtek.com/products/dermburo.html

If you live in the USA, Walmart sells Domeboro on their website.

Burosol has been discontinued for years - true. You may ask your pharmacist to order DERMBURO for Canadian manufacturer Dermtek Pharma (regrettably - no direct sales to consumers). You may also purchase online through HealthSnap Canada.
