Iso 555 Ointment
UpdatedI remember a really pleasantly distinctive ointment which my mother used on us. It was called 555 ointment. It was in a small green glass jar. I thought I'd heard that it was made at the pharmacy we used in Schenectady NY.
Does anyone have any recollection of this?

Hello, Francene! How are you doing?
I can't find anything listed under the name 555 Ointment, or other variations of that, so I am forced to assume that it was likely a regional product that was specially compounded by that pharmacy for their customers. Things like this were available all over the U.S., some required a doctor's prescription, and some didn't, but they were all different, and had their own name variations depending on location, and use.
Magic Mouthwash was the name for one very common one that is still sometimes used. You can learn more here.
Does that pharmacy still exist? If so, they may be able to tell you what ingredients were used in it.
