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.

Vince, I have no idea what CVS is talking about. I can, and do, compound the formula. To my knowledge, CVS is not a compounding pharmacy…..so I can see why they can not compound. My formula is not named the same as the original product….however it is based off of the original formula and it is awesome. I hate it that this site will not allow my contact info. I am the only pharmacy between Arvin, CA. and Santa Clarita, Ca. :)

Let me save you some trouble. Poslam is not made anymore. If a doctor writes a prescription the pharmacy will order something named Poslam ointment. It comes in about a 6 oz jar and is tan colored. It is not the tar based drawing salve of old.

Therefore, you have 2 options: 1) find a compounding pharmacy and tell them you want tar based drawing salve like the old poslam formula or 2) make it yourself. There are all kinds of youtube videos with instructions on how you can make it at home.

Good luck

Anything with Coal Tar, Tar Distillate or even Selenium Sulfide will do the trick, just look at the ingredients on the packaging- Most of the Local Drugs Stores carry it- good luck

Genie, I have opened a second location and am now located in Bakersfield, Ca. at Vital Compounding Specialty Pharmacy. We have filed a patent pending on Poslam and are in the works to get it back to the market. I hope this helps. Thanks, Leah

Looking for the formula for Poslam ointment? If you read previous notes you will see I posted this in July of 2007.

Poslam used to be made by Emergency Laboratories, Jersey City, NJ 07302. I tried to find them in on-line phone directories but they don’t seem to exist any more. A pharmacist passed along this formula to my parents. A compounding pharmacy should be able to make it up. I don’t know if it is patented or not, nor can I vouch for the accuracy of the formula.

Base is tar distillate, zinc oxide 13.3%, sulfer 0.5%, salicylic acid 1.65%, menthol 0.6%, phenol 0.35%, lanolin 26%.

I found a piece of newspaper "Boston Post" on the floor of my New Hampshire barn from 1914. It said POSLAM "clear the skin over night"... so it must have been around since at least then... Interesting.

I grew up using it and they even has a soap. I used it all threw school in the 60's and never had a blemish. I had the most beautiful skin. When I couldn't get it my skin was not the same
