DJM,
When and where was the last time that you bought Poslam? What did it cost? I can't find it for sale on the web.

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 am also looking for Poslam and cannot find a source. Maybe someone should start making it again. It's very effective for skin problems.
