Butesin Picrate - Compounding (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Hello. I'm from Australia and had been sorry to learn that Butesin Picrate cream was removed from commercial sale. My daughter (a registered pharmacist with Pharmaceutical Compounding exp.) recently suffered burns while she was home cooking: I said my "often quoted regret" about the cream's discontinuation. We have - between us - located the original (1%) pharmaceutical compounding instructions for it and provided it's not large scale manufacture I can arrange to put you in touch with the compounding pharmacy - only in limited supply for individuals though (like many of us who grew up with this cream in our mothers' first aid boxes!).

One ingredient (apparently) had cancer-causing discussions at scientific circles... and that's part of the PR disaster that prompted removal. Personally I feel toxic wastes from other industrial sources - and asbestos in C20 housing are at least as bad! I am ok to take the risk with such a superior burn cream and take my chances if I'm in agony from a household burn.

Our family also grew up with it and although I have part of a tube left it is way too old to perform the miracles it once did.
Can I get the formulation/info as well so that I might order some?
Please and thank you kindly.

How about sharing that compound info for us in the states. I have a great compounding pharmacy that could make it here if I had the recipe. Thanks

I live in the states so I'm sure this can't be sent to me already componded. However, I have a great pharmacy here that componds. If you could possible see your way of sending me the ingredients I could have it done here. Thanks for your consideration

My mother had a pressure cooker explode and she had 3rd degree burns on her arm. She applied the butesin and within a couple of months she was healed. I would love to get a tube.

I read your info from 2017 about Butesin Picrate. You mentioned that at that time there was a pharmacy compounding it. Are they still doing it, if so, how does one contact them?
Thanks for the info, and reply!

Hello. I'm so very desperate to find this. I'm a chef and I'm down to my last 1/4 teaspoon. My grandmother (93y/o) and mother have always used it. I was told you can still get it in Nicaragua. I have a bestie who lives over there looking for me. I have also heard that Peru has it too.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi I’m from Adelaide and I have been desperately looking for somewhere to purchase this cream. I can tell you a couple of wonderful stories about butesin picrate that saved skin from needing grafts let alone the ongoing pain and deformation that goes along with burns. I still have the tiniest bit left in a very old tube which I guard with my life but if I can order some it would be like winning the lottery. Could someone please get back to me re this? In gratitude - Madeline

As I live in the U.S., & have access to a compounding pharmacy locally, I'm hoping you are willing & able to share the formula information you have so I can provide it to them? Thank you & be well! ???

Hello Gem,
Like you, we have used this for years and our tube is almost empty. I would greatly appreciate information on how to obtain another supply.
Thanks

Although I live in the far NW corner of the U.S, I wonder if I might be able to order this from your compounding pharmacist, & whether he/she might be willing to share the formula with our local compounding pharmacy... Ideally, others here would then be able to get a prescription from our physicians & keep this miracle cream handy for our families... As with everyone else, there's never been anything else that even approaches it's effectiveness for burn relief & healing! Thanks for any information you can provide. Be well!

Thank you for your post! I have 3 active, curious, and too-courageous-for-their-own-good young granddaughters... One recently suffered a burn from a patio flame pit while roasting marshmallows. While not severe, the burn was very painful (as all burns are). I was stunned to find that the pharmacists I called had never heard of it! Forty years ago I suffered a bad campfire cooking burn and the nearest pharmacist recommended butesin picrate. The pain was instantly gone, and their was no scarring on the palm of my hand. I would like to know that my son's family and I, as well as others, can get this miracle medication to store in their med cabinets! If you would be willing to share the formula, we have a compounding pharmacy that can make this up. I agree with you, that there are much greater risks for carcinogen exposure than the use of such a miracle cream that both eliminates pain and prevents scarring!!! It's tragic that it's no longer available. Would you be willing for me to post it on U.S. sites, as a great number of people here are searching for it as well, and the only found source is in Venezuela, which doesn't ship to the U. S.? Thank you so much!
