Butesin Picrate Burn Cream (Top voted first)
Updatedwould like to know where i can purchase this cream,is excellent for fast relief for burns
I have been looking for Butesin Picrate for years with no success. It suddenly disappeared from pharmacies. My tube says it is from Abbott Australasia Pty Ltd Sydney Australia.
Butesin Picrate was sold as a burn ointment. Its greatest import is an a healing agent for cuts, abrasions and especially for infections. In 1957 I cut the end off my thumb with an axe. A person stuck it back on with BP. In two days, good as new.
Twenty years ago it was readily available in Canada, then it disappeared from the market. For five years I got it in the US, then it disappeared. I phoned Abbott in Australia. They told me that they had shut down the plant. They didn't seem to know what it was really for. I called a buddy in Melbourne and sent him shopping. He sent me four tubes.I am using it up, sparingly. I reported my discoveries to Glaxo Pharmaceuticles. The Director of Research said it was impossible. Should be able to make it. BP is a simple salt. Mix it at two percent with Vaseline.Let me know if you solve this. David Genn, Sooke, BC.
I actually have a tube of Butesin Picrate, my dad never threw anything away : )
It is Net Wt. one ounce, yellow cream.
The box says: Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, IL 60064 USA.
Hope this helps!!
I would like to know where I can buy Butesin Picrate ointment
It is an amazing cream and irreplacable for burns. However, because it contains traces of mercury, it was withdrawn from the market in Australia - apparently it's still available online from the US
I've been trying to get this wonderful medicine here in the US but no luck. I know they sell this in Guatemala, where I come from. The problem is to get someone to get it for me I guess you can search Pharmacies in Guatemala and contact them to see if they can ship one to you. Little risky though. In Spanish is call Picrato de Bustesin
I have a tube of Butesin Picrate, label says Abbott Laboratories
North Chicago, IL 60064 USA.
Hope this helps!
Looking for Butesin Picrate cannot find anywhere most stores say they have never heard of it. I really need it for my kitchen to have on hand. The last tube i have is down to enough for a very small burn.
My mother also had this in her kitchen when I was growing up. I am now 46, and treat the one tube I have like one of the crown jewels. Like everyone who has posted here, I cannot believe it isn't available.
'm looking for it too
My experience was the same. Always in the medicine cabinet for effective relief of sunburn. I once administered it to a little girl who was badly sunburned on her back. Overnight she felt 100% better. Does anyone know why such an effective product was withdrawn by Abbot?
My mother used this cream on me when I was burnt as a child. I am not 63 years old and have only found this twice as an adult. I live in the central valley of California and would like to know if it is available in this area. Or, can I purchase this on-line? Thank you in advance for your reply..........
I too have been searching for Butesin Picrate,
I cannot believe that something so wonderful successful, would be withdrawn. there is not another product I have ever come across that actually takes the pain out of minor burns???????
I can't find Butesin Picrate in the USA.A wonderful burn
healer Help me find it any where in the world.

where in melbourne did your friend buy this?
I've had the same tube of Buetsin Pictrate burn cream and it's now empty after a recent bad scald of my whole right hand. My GP googled the name for me. A friend I saw in her waiting room was telling me about her burn experience and had a similar story about a yellow burn cream. I am told that it is available online. {edited for privacy} if you have any luck I would love to get feedback.
This is such a miracle cream there had to be a catch -- painlessly eliminates burns so fast it will make your head spin. So I guess there's something unsafe about it, but the only thing I can find is the mention above about it containing mercury. Love to see the substantiation for that, since I used it when I was doing stained glass and nothing relieved or healed burns from the soldering iron like it did. I say "did," since it vanished from the shelves and I haven't seen it in 35 years.
I would like to know where i can get Butesin Pictrate in Harriman Tennessee, 37748. I used some yrars ago and not sure where to find it here.
So are the chemicals in hair products and suntan lotions but because they are big corps. they get the pass plus it drives business to Pharma. I'd guess rather that it competed with a big outfit and got regulated out.
I too seem to be among the many looking for butesin picrate. I had a tube for years in a baggie because my dog chewed holes in it but I wouldn't let it go. Now that is gone and I've been looking for it ever since. The best thing for burns that I ever used. Wish I could find it again.
