Leah..I got the prescription from our doctor, however CVS said they were not allowed to fill it in the US ? What do you know about this ?
I'm going to have another doctor friend see if he can get it from his brother who is a doctor in Italy.

My comment is under DUKE just above yours. Yes, I'm interested in getting this ointment for me, my grandchildren and friends. I really believe that there isn't a better product on the market today. I did get a prescription from my doctor today
October 2nd they sent in into CVS, they said that they could not fill it in the US !!
What do you think we might be able to do??

I for one would be interested in the new Poslam if you were to start manufacturing it. Contact me at {edited for privacy} maybe that will fool the contact gatekeeper.

The product we found is: MG217 Psoriasis - coal tar formula - multi-symptom ointment. We purchased it from Amazon. My mother says it is healing the same as poslum for her.

Thanks for the ingredients list. We found an ointment on amazon and it seems to be working almost as well as poslum. Yea!

I can finally say that I have the formula available with a prescription. I have duplicated the original ingredients, in the original strengths. For now, I can only supply the product to California residents. If anyone is interested, you can contact me via {edited for privacy}. Ask for Leah.

I like the feedback, and in answer to the last question about why it needs a prescription....In California, simply the "act" of compounding (mixing two ingredients) together, even if the ingredients are otherwise OTC, it requires a prescription. If this formula/product had a large enough demand from the public then we might just get a "manufacturing license" for it. That would allow us to sell it to the public without a prescription. I will update this thread as the product becomes available. Thanks for the feedback

I do think that Poslam was a great ointment and I for one would get the prescription for our family and friends to use.
I had it made for me at an Oakland drug store some years ago. It is worth it !
I understand that things have changed, but it was over the counter throughout the 40's and 50's. My father always had it in our medicine chest. He used it for cold sores, he put it on in the morning and was clear in the afternoon. I used it for acne..it worked.

I am a pharmacist and own a compounding pharmacy. I am in the process of duplicating the formula. In California (where my pharmacy is located), all compounds requires a doctors prescription. I am curious, for those wanting Poslam... are you willing to get a prescription from your doctor in order to obtain the compound? Just curious because I want to make it but if it requires a prescription, I wonder if folks would be willing to go the "extra" step to get it. I love the challenge but do not want to order the chemicals and make the compound just for my own enjoyment :) any thoughts would be appreciated

My father used it in the 50's for cold sores. He applied in the morning and it disappeared in a few hours. I used it in my teens for acne, it worked wonders.
I had a small tin can or jar of it some time ago and had the local drugs store make it for me, however until now I lost the forumla...not that it has appeared here I am going to have it made up again as all of you can do!!

Any luck with compounding it. I used some of my old stash tonight. I'm down to the last small jar. I swear it's gotta be 20-30 years old and still works great!
