Buro Sol Discontinued? (Page 3) (Top voted first)

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?

I just bought the buro-sol powder today at a pharmacy in Port Credit (Mississauga) for $11.95. I use it to treat my dogs ear infections.

buro-sol is an antiseptic powder. It comes in a box with approx. 12 packets. Each packet contains 1.11g aluminum acetate,1.15 g sodium acetate and 0.10 g benzethonium chloride. You pour one packet into 450ml of water. Soak a soft cloth: wring lightly. Apply and keep wet, 15-30 mins. 2-4 times daily. uses poison ivy,poison oak,eczema. It prevents infection and sooths the itch. I have eczema but I just finished having the worst breakout of my life. I was covered from my toes to the tops of my thighs and my fingertips to my elbows. my ankles and wrists were non existant they were so swollen. Thankgoodness I still had a packet left with the box that is how I listed the ingreds.

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.

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.

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.

Re: Anonymous (# 4)

The powder you are purchasing Dermburo is for skin conditions and says nothing about putting it in your ears??? Buro Sol has Aluminum Acetate Solution 0.35% Dermburo Powder has 0.16% along with other ingredients. I have heard you can get some compound Pharmacy's to "recreate" the Buro-Sol solution. They apparently made up a powder that you add water to.
